Allegory of Spring is a 1885 ink by Auguste Rodin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a sketch of a woman with long hair, surrounded by six cherubs. The woman is nude, with her arms wrapped around her body and her legs crossed. The cherubs are arranged around her head and shoulders, with their faces and bodies visible. The sketch is done in black ink on a beige background, with visible cross-hatching and shading. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, with the woman and cherubs appearing to swirl around each other. The sketch is reminiscent of the work of Auguste Rodin, a French artist known for his romantic and expressive sculptures and drawings.
François Auguste René Rodin (; French: ; 12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917) was a French sculptor generally considered the founder of modern sculpture.
