Madame Fenaille 1898

"Madame Fenaille" is a bust sculpture by Auguste Rodin, created in 1898 and currently located in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. This piece is a testament to Rodin's mastery of capturing nuanced emotions in his subjects. The figure's posture and expression are both introspective and melancholic, conveying a sense of quiet contemplation. The sculptor's signature rough-hewn style is evident in the fragmented, textured surface of the bust, adding to its expressive quality.
