Lovers (Les amants)

Auguste Rodin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts two nude figures carved in a rectangular stone relief. The figure on the left is a woman with her head turned to the right, her right hand on her neck, and her left hand on the man's chest. She has short hair and one leg bent at the knee, with the other extended. The man on the right has his arms outstretched and his body positioned behind the woman. He is muscular and holds the woman's right wrist with his right hand. The relief is framed by a raised border around the figures. The background behind the relief transitions from dark to light gray. Auguste Rodin, titled "Lovers (Les amants)".
