This 1905 photograph, "Auguste Rodin at Meudon," by Gertrude Kasebier, captures the renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin in his studio, surrounded by his work. The image portrays Rodin in a contemplative moment, standing beside a bust he is working on, a testament to the artist's dedication and the creative process. The photograph's stark black and white aesthetic emphasizes the sculptures and provides a glimpse into Rodin's artistic world.
