Ames du Purgatoire 1893

"Ames du Purgatoire" is a drawing by French sculptor Auguste Rodin, dating back to 1893. The piece depicts three nude figures, two standing and one kneeling, seemingly in a state of anguish. This work is characteristic of Rodin's signature style, employing dramatic contours and expressive lines to evoke emotional intensity, characteristic of the artist's later work. Rodin, a leading figure of the late 19th-century, was known for his exploration of the human form, and this drawing exemplifies his interest in capturing the raw emotions and complexities of the human experience.
