I remember being blown away by how beautiful this was when I first saw this at the Musee Rodin in 2004. It's a wonderful piece in a house full of lovely pieces (including The Kiss). The shiny polished marble of her back in contrast with the watery effects of her hair and the rough marble. Just lovely.
I was actually going to make his other work *Je suis belle* the work of the week, but I couldn't find a nice photo of it online.
