Rodin- Two Hands

I chose Auguste Rodins sculpture, Two Hands, because of it's obscurity that stood out to me, verses some of his other figure sculptures. Looking at this piece, it appears that the hand on the left is a females hand being held by other hand, which appears more masculine because of its structure. With the base of this sculpture being an irregular shaped base, may represent the story behind the two hands and the relationship. After researching the sculpture more, it turns out that the hand on the left is Rodins and the hand on the right is Rose Beuret.
