Young Girl Kneeling 1840 - 1917

This delicate pencil sketch, "Young Girl Kneeling," by Auguste Rodin, is a study of the human form. The figure is depicted in a kneeling pose, her back turned towards the viewer. Rodin’s masterful use of line and shading, characteristic of his work, creates a sense of volume and movement. The artist's keen observation of the female form and his ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment make this piece a poignant example of his artistic genius. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
