Below the text, there is a note that reads "A man, curled in the fetal position with toes clenched and fists balled, shields his face with his right arm. Auguste Rodini's expressive sculpture evokes an emotional state of fear and hopelessness and is closely related to other form figures in the artist's masterpiece. The gates of Hell.
