La Ronde

Auguste Rodin

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white sketch on paper depicts a group of people in various poses. Eight figures are arranged in a circle; some standing and some crouched. They appear to be moving in a circular motion. A distant mountain range and a few buildings are visible in the background. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
