Witch’s Sabbath (Sabbat)
ca. 1890
Most people know Auguste Rodin for his heavy bronze sculptures like 'The Thinker,' but this sketch reveals his wilder, looser side. Created around 1890, 'Witch’s Sabbath' features a crouching figure with wide, startled eyes and a scribbled, almost wing-like shawl, all washed in dreamy blues and pinks. Rodin produced thousands of these rapid drawings, often working in dim light to capture the raw energy and movement of his models rather than perfect details. It’s a spooky, expressive glimpse into the mind of a master sculptor letting his imagination run free on paper.
