Hand of Rodin Holding Torso 1917, Musée Rodin cast in 1968 Bronze 6 1/8 x 8 ¾  x  4 1/8 in. Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Collection Hand of Rodin Holding Torso consists of a life cast taken directly from Rodin's hand by one of his assistants and a fragment known as Small Torso A, originally created for The Gates of Hell. While this composition was not likely assembled by Rodin, it is comparable to works such as The Hand of God that portray hands as symbols of creative power.
