Caresse - moi danc, chéri is a 1902 by Auguste Rodin, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a nude figure from behind, reaching up with one arm while the other hand rests on their hip. The lines are loose and quick, with soft pink and brown washes to suggest skin and shadow. The paper has a rough texture, and the artist’s signature is tucked in the bottom corner. The drawing feels like a quick study—maybe a moment of play or practice. The title, *Caresse-moi danc, chéri*, hints at movement, but here the figure is still. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
