Woman Seated Dressed in Blue. Psyche
circa 1900
Rodin, the master sculptor known for 'The Thinker,' surprises us here with a delicate drawing of a seated woman draped in soft blue washes. Created around 1900 and titled 'Psyché,' this piece captures a moment of quiet repose, with the figure's limbs rendered in swift, fluid lines that seem to dance across the paper. Notice how one foot is bare while the other wears a sandal—a charming detail typical of Rodin's spontaneous sketching style. He often drew models without looking at the paper, letting his hand follow the curves of the body instinctively, proving he was just as brilliant with a pencil as with a chisel.
