Young woman kneeling 1875 - 1915

"Young Woman Kneeling" is a plaster sculpture by Auguste Rodin, created between 1875 and 1915. The sculpture depicts a nude woman kneeling with her head bowed in a gesture of humility or contemplation. Rodin's sculptures are often characterized by their expressive surfaces and unfinished appearances. This unfinished quality, while seemingly accidental, highlights the artist’s meticulous attention to detail and the inherent complexity of the human form. This small-scale sculpture is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
