RODIN AUGUSTE: (1840-1917) French Sculptor. A fine A.L.S., A Rodin, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d., to Bénédite, in French. Rodin refers to his first bronze work "l´Age d´Airain", and states `Vous seriez bien aimable de laisser l´age d´airain dans le Jardin. Quand au buste de Laurens la patine est trop égale, si vous avez le temps et que vous le désirez je pourrai le faire repatiner..´ ("Would you be so kind as to leave l´age d´airain in the Garden. Regarding Laurens' bust the patina is too even, if you have the time and if you wish, I can have it re-patinated") To the left border, in vertical and red ink, Rodin adds `J´espere que j´aurai un exemplaire des dessins reproduits a offrir au musée´ ("I hope that I will get a copy of the reproduced drawings to offer to the museum") Small creasing with a small tear to the left edge, only affecting one word, but not affecting the signature.

L´Age d´Airain is Rodin's first bronze statue, from 1877. It brought him notoriety at the age of 37, prompting government work requests before private petitions multiplied. It is on display at the Musée Rodin and the Musée d'Orsay.
