Meditation (sculpture)
Meditation or The Interior Voice is an 1886 sculpture by Auguste Rodin, showing a young woman resting her head on her right shoulder. The figure was also used on the right end of the tympanum of Rodin's The Gates of Hell, with a right hand added, extended in horror at the fate that awaits her in Hell.[1]

The figure was also used in Rodin's Monument to Victor Hugo, representing one of the poet's muses.[2] For Gates, Rodin cut off its arms, left knee and part of its right leg. He exhibited the plaster as an independent work in 1896.[3]
