A Man and Woman

Auguste Rodin, 1840

This drawing depicts nude figures of a man and woman standing side by side with the woman pointing her finger and is Quattrocento in style. Claude Phillips, who gave the drawing to the British Museum, was one of Rodin's earliest English supporters, and a co-founder of the Art Fund in 1903. This is one of two drawings presented to the museum by the donor.
