Rodin retained the torso and legs while omitting head and arms. Both feet rest flat on the ground, so the sense of walking is constructed from the pose rather than observed from a natural stride.

How to use the model

Examine the work from more than one angle.

Use the 3D view to inspect the overall form, then zoom in to compare surface, joins, and tool marks. Lighting controls can make shallow carving and material changes easier to see.
