Nude Sitting, Knee Raised
Auguste Rodin is best known for his heavy, muscular bronze sculptures, but his drawings reveal a much lighter, fluid side. In this sketch, a nude figure sits with a raised knee, captured through delicate lines and a warm, translucent wash. Rodin often worked quickly, prioritizing the essence of movement over strict anatomical perfection—a key trait of his modernist style. Look closely for the initials 'AR' at the bottom, a quiet signature from a master who could make a flat piece of paper feel three-dimensional.
