AUGUSTE RODIN. Brother and Sister (Le frère et la soeur)

Brother and Sister (Le frère et la soeur). Artist: Auguste Rodin (French, Paris 1840-1917 Meudon). Culture: French. Dimensions: Overall (wt. confirmed): 15 × 8 1/2 × 8 in., 18.7 lb. (38.1 × 21.6 × 20.3 cm, 8.5 kg). Date: 1890. Rodin's older sister, Maria, died in 1862, causing the stricken young sculptor to enter a religious order and abandon his art for many months. Sentimental tenderness is rare in Rodin's sculptures; here, it may reflect memories of the lost, sustaining love between brother and sister.
