This artwork showcases Rodin's proficiency with drawing, a lesser-known aspect of his artistic arsenal.The image features a woman standing in a confident and relaxed pose, her body lines elegantly drawn with a sense of fluidity and grace. The contours of her form are sketched with gentle, flowing lines that communicate both the softness and the strength of the human body. The woman's facial features are lightly detailed, emphasizing the overall simplicity and minimalistic approach of the sketch.The use of minimal shading and detail ensures that the focus remains on the curvature and natural stance of the figure, portraying a sense of vulnerability and authenticity. The background is unadorned, which helps to highlight the subject further.This piece could be seen as a study in human anatomy as much as it is an appreciation of the human form, reflecting Rodin's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with few yet expressive strokes. The choice of the medium, with its hints of sepia tones, adds a vintage quality to the image, suggesting a moment captured in time.Overall, this artwork is a fine example of Rodin's draftsmanship and his sensitivity to the subtleties of human physical expression.

Rodin was born into a poor family. After earning a living through sculpting decorative stoneworks, he entered art school. He then applied a craftsman-like approach to his work and modeled the human body with the naturalism that latterly became his unique style. Considered as the founder of modern sculpture, Rodin's original works clashed with predominant figurative sculpture from traditional themes of mythology and allegory since he celebrated individual human physicality.
