The Thinker

Auguste Rodin1880

Maryhill Museum of Art
Goldendale, United States

The Thinker was initially created as a figure for placement on Rodin’s The Gates of Hell, then cast for collectors at the beginning of the 1890s. This early plaster version lacks a right foot—removed by the artist—and an inscription to Loïe Fuller: “A Loïe Rodin.”
