1883
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
La Ronde is a 1883 by Auguste Rodin, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You're looking at a sketch of a group of people gathered in a circle. They're all nude, with some standing and others crouching or sitting. The figures are drawn in dark lines, with some details suggested by shading. In the background, there are some faint lines that might be hills or buildings. The drawing is quite expressive, with the figures' bodies twisted and turned in different directions. Some of them seem to be interacting with each other, while others appear to be lost in thought. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement. If you like this piece, you might want to check out more works by the artist, Auguste Rodin.
