Hi Bill,

Auguste Rodin, with his famous beard and signature beret hat along with the sculpture bust on the window ledge, in his studio.

Hello collective wisdom,

Asking for a colleague, does anyone happen to know the identity of the man in this photograph?

There was a very tentative guess at an identification as Monet, but I don't particularly see that. It is possible he is not an art world figure at all.

Happy to be proven wrong, and to get your opinion.

Thank you.
