In
1864, Auguste Rodin met a seamstress named Rose Beuret. She became his
lifetime companion and modeled for many of his works.
In this portrait,
Rodin celebrates their association with this charming interpretation of Rose
Beuret with a straw hat.
The reproduction is colored after the original
terracotta clay that Rodin used for his original. It is a perfect height for a
desktop or bookshelf. The intricacies of the carving and details in her hat
are stunning!
ABOUT
RODIN AND ROSE'S RELATIONSHIP: Rose Beuret went as a country girl to Paris to
start work as a seamstress in one of the many workshops. It was there where
she met Rodin and, in his own words, "clasped to him like an animal". Two
years later she gave birth to a son, who was never acknowledged by the father.
She remained his partner for over 50 years and only married him in 1917, a few
days before she died. Rose was a lifelong stable factor in the background for
Rodin. She was not part of his social life though and had to put up with a
lot. She regularly modeled for Rodin as in this subtle portrait which becomes
even more fascinating when you keep in mind the later role she played in
Rodin's life.
