Left Hand c. 1880

"Left Hand" is a small-scale plaster cast created by Auguste Rodin around 1880. The piece is a study of the human form, capturing the intricate detail of a single hand in a slightly tense, reaching gesture. Though a fragment, it exemplifies Rodin's mastery of anatomical precision and his interest in capturing fleeting moments of human expression. The rough, unfinished surface of the plaster further contributes to the work's raw, visceral impact.
