Statue De Balzac Study by Rodin Watercolor Print Official Issue Rodin Museum



The look on Balzac's face captured by Rodin is priceless.

When Rodin died, he bequeathed a self financing museum raising it's operating expenses by creating very limited edition reproductions of his art and sculptures as Rodin instructed. This is study is from one of his most controversial statues, his Balzac statue. He revered Balzac, but the public initially balked at this statue.
 
This is signed in print and bears the official embossed seal from Musee Rodin.
The print is approximately 15 x 11 inches.
The frame has some wear and there is very slight discoloration on the very bottom of the mat.
