1883
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bust of Bellone is a 1883 by Auguste Rodin, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s head and shoulders turned slightly to the side. Her hair is drawn in quick, swirling lines, and one hand rests on her head. The cloth draped over her shoulder looks rough, with jagged strokes. The whole image is in black and white, with no color. The artist focused on texture—notice how the hair and fabric aren’t smooth but full of movement. This style fits Rodin’s way of making sketches feel alive. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
François Auguste René Rodin (; French: ; 12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917) was a French sculptor generally considered the founder of modern sculpture.
