Bathing Woman
1900 - 1902
Most people know Auguste Rodin for his heavy bronze sculptures like The Thinker, but this delicate watercolor reveals his softer, more fluid side. Created around 1900, the piece captures a woman lounging in the sea, her submerged legs turning a murky green as the blue washes bleed into her flesh tones. Rodin often used these quick, spontaneous drawings to capture the fleeting movement of the human body, treating the paper almost like a sculptor's clay. It's a refreshing glimpse into how a master of solid forms played with transparency and light.
