A pencil drawing of Auguste Rodin’s marble statue “The Kiss” (French: Le Baiser) created in 1882, at a height of 181.5 cm, now in the Musée Rodin.
The embracing nude couple depicted in the sculpture appeared originally as part of a group of reliefs decorating Rodin’s monumental bronze portal The Gates of Hell, commissioned for a planned museum of art in Paris. The couple were later removed from the Gates and replaced with another pair of lovers located on the smaller right-hand column.
