About this work
Rodin's Thinker (modelled c. 1880; this cast c. 1910) turns thought into bodily tension in bronze — bent back, pressed fingers and toes, and a rough surface that changes with viewpoint and light.

Points to look for
- Look for tension in small parts such as toes and fingers.
- Compare the face from front and side views.
- Notice how the uneven bronze surface catches light.
Questions
