Eve from Gates of Hell Statue Female Nude Shy by Rodin 18H

This Rodin sculpture of the biblical Eve is taken from a much grander piece entitled "The Gates of Hell". As the first woman to know the meaning of shame, Rodin expresses the emotion with lifelike vigor and dignity. Made from bonded stone with a bronze finish, 18"H.

According to Walker Art Center curators, "The graceful, athletic Italian woman he (Rodin) used as his model for 'Eve,' the mother of all humanity, added an unexpected naturalism to the sculpture, as she was pregnant."
