Description:
The human hand and its expressive possibilities have long fascinated Auguste Rodin. It was especially between 1880 and 1890 that the sculptor created hundreds of hand studies, some of which served as models for his large sculptures. However, due to the expressive power of the subject, Rodin considered many of them to be independent works of art in their own right. " Main droite, known as Main no.22," features a muscular male hand with a thick wrist and slender fingers in a frozen and elegant pose.
Main droite, known as Main no.22," is a bronze casting characteristic of sand casts by the Georges Rudier foundry and was executed for the Rodin Museum in December 1960. Our sculpture is part of an edition of 12 copies.

Auguste Rodin
Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor widely regarded as the father of modern sculpture. Breaking away from the idealized forms of classical sculpture, Rodin introduced a more naturalistic, emotionally charged style that emphasized texture, movement, and human emotion. His work often explored themes of love, struggle, and the human condition. Rodin's most iconic works include The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell, many of which began as smaller studies and evolved into monumental masterpieces. His innovative approach to form, fragmentation, and surface detail challenged traditional academic norms and set a new direction for modern sculpture. Despite initial criticism and controversy, Rodin’s work was eventually celebrated as groundbreaking, and he achieved widespread recognition during his lifetime. Today, his sculptures are displayed in major museums and public spaces worldwide, symbolizing the transition from classical to modern art.
