This little figure appears twice in The Gates of Hell – first close to The Thinker, and again head down on the central pillar. Rodin quickly turned it into a separate work and used it in other groups. This plaster version has a dedication to the Swedish businessman and amateur artist Charlie Waern, who allegedly modelled for the figure.

Henri Rochefort (1831-1913) http://collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=27861&viewType=detailView
The fluent modelling of the clothing seems to add movement to the sculpture. According to Rodin, the model, the left-wing politician and publisher Henri Rochefort (1830-1913), was unable to sit still for even a moment. The bust was enlarged and exhibited in 1897. Rodin saw enlarging as part of the creative process. The altered size creates a new relationship between the work and its spectators. This bust was bought by the art collector Thorsten Laurin in 1905.
