| dc.description | Overall view from front; Rodin sought to explore the creative potential of enlarging his works. This involved using a pantograph, a mechanical device originally designed to scale down sculptures for edition purposes, but it can also be used for the opposite effect, to scale up a model. Rodin first came across this device in the late 1890s, and began enlarging figures that he had designed for the Monument to Victor Hugo. In 1910, Rodin exhibited Torso of a Young Woman with Arched Back alongside The Prayer, both of which were enlargements of motifs from The Gates of Hell. Donated to the museum by Rodin in 1916.
