Column Surround with Pensive Woman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A sculpture by Auguste Rodin, titled "Column Surround with Pensive Woman", made of light-colored stone. The sculpture depicts a woman with her elbow resting on her hand and her hand under her chin, sitting on a ledge or column. The woman appears to be alone and contemplative. Her hair is styled in an updo. The sculpture appears to be fragmented as only the woman and parts of the column are present. The column behind the woman is intricately carved with decorative elements. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The sculpture sits on a light blue pedestal.
