Nude Reclining c. 20th century

"Nude Reclining" is a watercolor by Auguste Rodin, a renowned French sculptor, known for his expressive and naturalistic depictions of the human form. This delicate work, likely created in the early 20th century, showcases a reclining nude figure with a graceful, flowing line. Rodin's masterful use of subtle washes and translucent layers of color creates a sense of ethereal beauty and suggests the fleeting nature of the human form. The artwork, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies Rodin's exploration of the human figure and his versatility as an artist, extending beyond sculpture to drawing and watercolor.
