Mask of Rose Beuret 1875 - 1898

Auguste Rodin's "Mask of Rose Beuret" is a plaster sculpture created between 1875 and 1898. This unfinished work depicts the head of Rose Beuret, Rodin's muse and life partner. The piece, characterized by its raw and unfinished form, exemplifies the artist's signature style, which emphasized the expressive power of the human figure. The sculpture's rough texture and incomplete details further contribute to its raw and emotional intensity. Located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the "Mask of Rose Beuret" is a poignant example of Rodin's enduring legacy in the history of sculpture.
