A caryatid is a column in classical Greek architecture carved to resemble a female figure. Rodin originally designed <em>Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone </em>to serve as one of the figures on his monumental sculptural doorway <em>The Gates of Hell</em>. While Greek caryatids are typically draped, Rodin stripped the body of clothing and depicted the caryatid crushed under the weight of a stone, symbolically suggesting a state of physical suffering or emotional anguish. He exhibited<em> Fallen Caryatid</em> as an independent sculpture as early as 1883 and produced multiple versions in marble and bronze.
