This striking torso of a young girl with an arched back has an interesting genesis. It was originally conceived by Rodin in the mid-1880s as a small, full-length, figure of Psyche. In 1908-1909, Henri Lebossé, an associate of Rodin, produced a greatly enlarged plaster replica of the torso alone, which was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1910 to critical adulation. Henri Bidou praised ‘the living, swelling body, that carries to pure air the rhythm of its life […]. The refinement of the complex interlocking planes is combined with the exactitude of a captured momentary movement’. This bronze was cast much later, in 1962, by Georges Rudier.
