About

The sculpture Tête de la Luxure (Head of Lust) was originally created as the head of the figure Crouching Woman, one of Rodin's favorite compositions, probably from 1881–82, and one of the earliest figures Rodin modeled for The Gates of Hell. The model for Crouching Woman was Adèle, who was immortalized in Torso Adèle and later in one of Rodin's most famous and sensual works, Eternal Spring. Although it is a rare sculpture, it is not known exactly how many bronze casts were made. This is a later cast.
