This is a bronze rendition of "The Thinker" which originally was a bronze and marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin, whose first cast, of 1902, is now in the Musée Rodin in Paris; there are some twenty other original castings as well as various other versions, studies, and posthumous castings. It depicts a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal struggle. It is often used to represent philosophy. The sculpture was captured using the archaic method of lost-wax casting and stained with a Green patina finish for preservation. It is mounted upon a green marble base.
