La Belle Heaulmiere

I became aware of this Rodin work while reading Robert Heinlein's classic book Stranger In A Strange Land.


There are lots of sites which introduce this piece, many quote from Heinlein's writings to explain why this is an important sculpture. For Heinlein's stranger the beauty was evident for she had achieved a face.
