Eve - Auguste Rodin

sketchfab

Auguste Rodin - 1840 - 1917 “Eve” by Auguste Rodin initially created for “Gates of Hell.” It has become one of Rodin’s best-known sculptures of the female figure. Eve stands awkwardly in trying to cover her body, she appears to be crouching, as she draws her left leg in to hide. The depiction captures the agonized moment of shame through the perception of nakedness after the fall into sin. Her left-hand makes a gesture, as if in protection against a blow.
