Bust of a Woman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Bust of a Woman" by Auguste Rodin depicts a woman's upper body and head. The bust is made of dark gray stone. The woman's face is rendered with a subtle, enigmatic expression. Her hair is styled in loose waves around her face and down her back. The shoulders and chest are visible, with the arms and lower body not depicted. The bust sits on a short, cylindrical base. The background of the image is white.
