{"product_id":"caresse-moi-donc-cheri-auguste-rodin","title":"Caresse-moi donc, chéri - Auguste Rodin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate figure study by Auguste Rodin, featuring a minimalist line drawing enhanced with soft watercolour washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuguste Rodin, primarily known for his bronze and marble sculpture, produced a significant body of drawings and prints throughout his career. This work, titled Caresse-moi donc, chéri, originates from the illustrations created for Octave Mirbeau's Le Jardin des supplices. The image depicts a female figure from behind, captured in a pose of relaxed grace. Her arms are raised above her head, creating a fluid silhouette that emphasises the natural curvature of the spine and hips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRodin utilised a minimalist approach in this composition. The primary focus is the economy of line, which defines the form without the need for heavy shading or anatomical rigidity. A delicate watercolour wash in soft, flesh-toned hues provides subtle volume to the figure, allowing the paper to act as a light source. The artist's signature is visible in the lower left corner, executed with the same fluid confidence seen in the figure's outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print reflects the artist's interest in the human form as a vehicle for emotional expression. By stripping away background detail, Rodin directs the viewer's attention to the gesture and the physical presence of the subject. The work demonstrates his ability to translate the tactile qualities of his sculptural practice into a two-dimensional medium. The composition is balanced and quiet, avoiding unnecessary ornamentation to maintain a focus on the human silhouette. It remains a representative example of his later graphic work, where he moved away from academic precision toward a more spontaneous, expressive style. The print is a study in movement and anatomy, demonstrating how a few well-placed lines can convey a sense of weight and posture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/the-swan-anders-zorn\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Swan by Anders Zorn\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/naakte-vrouw-die-haar-borst-aanraakt-nude-woman-touching-her-breast-henri-jonas\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw die haar borst aanraakt (Nude Woman Touching Her Breast) by Henri Jonas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/collections\/auguste-rodin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAuguste Rodin artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Auguste Rodin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474702008655,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474717704527,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474717737295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474717770063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474717802831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474717835599,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474717868367,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474717901135,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474717933903,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474717966671,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474717999439,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474718032207,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Caresse-moi-donc-ch-ri_Poster_CompositorV1_1794401379342.jpg?v=1794442913","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/caresse-moi-donc-cheri-auguste-rodin","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
