Description

French sculptor Auguste Rodin, head-and-shoulders portrait, facing right.

It is ironic that Rodin, who could transform clay and stone into lifelike forms, seemed to become petrified by a camera. In every other way, Rodin was a perfect subject. Full beard, stocky frame, and fame contributed to a commanding presence. (...) Critics have long considered Gertrude Käsebier's portraits to be among the most sensitive likenesses of the great sculptor, but only as documents about their friendship have become publicly available has it become possible Rodin's admiration for Käsebier's talent and her reverence for his creative genius. (Barbara Michaels, p. 102f)
