Nude 3
Rodin is best known for bronze giants like The Thinker, but his drawings reveal a frantic, obsessive energy. Here, a crouching nude is captured in sweeping washes of brown watercolor and frantic pencil lines, emphasizing the heavy, sculptural volume of the body rather than delicate details. He famously told his models to walk around and ignore him, allowing him to sketch their natural, unguarded movements—a technique that bridged the gap between traditional art and modern expressionism.
