The most gorgeous back

Are you familiar with Auguste Rodin's sculptures? There is one that I particularly love... I believe it is called La Danaïde.

Isn't this the most beautiful back? Can you believe it is made out of stone? 

Rodin apparently made five marble versions of La Danaïde. The one below seems to have been auctioned off at Christie's in 2006. I'm not sure I'm counting the number of zeros right but somebody paid ("price realised") $3,040,000 for this?! (click to enlarge)

Next time you're in Paris, go to Musée Rodin - 79, rue de Varenne - 75007 Paris
