The Thinker

Auguste Rodin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bronze sculpture of a nude male figure sitting on a rock. The figure is seated with his right knee bent and left leg straight, with his left arm resting on his left knee. The right arm is bent at the elbow and the chin rests on the right fist. The figure's head is tilted downwards and slightly to the right. The bronze has a dark patina with shades of green, brown, and gray. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The sculpture sits on a white surface, and there is a shadow on the right side.
