Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone, 1880-1881 (?). Creator: Auguste Rodin (French, 1840-1917) .

Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone, 1880-1881(?). A caryatid is a column in classical Greek architecture carved to resemble a female figure. Rodin originally designed  Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone  to serve as one of the figures on his monumental sculptural doorway  The Gates of Hell . While Greek caryatids are typically draped, Rodin stripped the body of clothing and depicted the caryatid crushed under the weight of a stone, symbolically suggesting a state of physical suffering or emotional anguish. He exhibited  Fallen Caryatid  as an independent sculpture as early as 1883 and produced multiple versions in marble and bronze.
