AUGUSTE RODIN. Study of a Hand

Study of a Hand. Artist: Auguste Rodin (French, Paris 1840-1917 Meudon). Culture: French. Dimensions: Length: 13 1/2 in. (34.3 cm). Date: modeled ca. 1885, cast before 1912.
In the 1880s Rodin began to subtract parts from completed figures in order to focus on the expressive capacity of fragments. Cast from a full-scale study for The Burghers of Calais, this hand suggests the eloquent emotional complexion of the whole.
