This plaster bust by Auguste Rodin, created around 1905, captures the theme of parting. Rodin’s skill in conveying emotion is evident in the subject’s expression, which reflects longing and melancholy. Donated by Rodin in 1916, the piece exemplifies his ability to translate complex human emotions into sculpture.
