Rodin is a 1897 ink by Eugène Carrière, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a close-up portrait of an older man with a long white beard and mustache. His face is mostly in shadow, but you can see his hands resting on his chin. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The artist used soft lines to show the wrinkles and texture of his skin. This style focuses on real details rather than idealized looks.
