Lot 21 Property from a Private European Collection
The following four lots derive from a marvelous and varied collection of Auguste Rodin bronze sculptures assembled by a private collector over the past three decades. Beginning in the early 1970s, with acquisitions made directly from the Musée Rodin, and continuing through the 1980s, with some earlier casts purchased at auction, these four sculptures provide a shorthand study of Rodin's sensitive, gestural handling of the female body and his detailed accuracy with the human face. The present lot pictured here, Baigneuse Zoubaloff, is the earliest of the group, cast by Alexis Rudier in 1944, and offers a wonderfully evocative and sensual pose complemented by a deep crimson-brown patina.
