Originally modeled for The Gates of Hell, where it was apparently intended to illustrate a poem from Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal, this group was abandoned by Rodin in the final version of The Gates but given a second existence under the present title. The figure of Eurydice is recognizable as that of the Martyr and exemplifies Rodin's propensity for exploring the multiple interpretations of a single form.
Signature: Signed and dated (on left edge of background rock): A. Rodin/1893
