Antoine Bourdelle’s 1908 sculpture of Adam depicts the biblical figure in deep contemplation, reflecting Auguste Rodin’s influence, with whom Bourdelle collaborated. Unlike traditional depictions of Adam after the Fall, this piece captures a moment of introspection. It showcases Bourdelle’s early mastery of form and emotion. Copies of this work are displayed in various locations, including the Getty Villa in Los Angeles.
