Nude 2
While Auguste Rodin is famous for heavy bronze sculptures like 'The Thinker,' he was also a prolific and surprisingly spontaneous draftsman. He would often have models move freely around his studio, sketching them rapidly without even looking at his paper to capture the raw energy of the human form. This intimate drawing of a reclining nude showcases his mastery of line and soft color wash, stripping away detail to focus purely on the curves and volume of the body. It’s a wonderful glimpse into the private, fluid side of a master sculptor.
