This study established the basic pose and haunted expression of Pierre de Wiessant. It is one of the six individual figures, one-third life-size, that comprised the second maquette Rodin submitted to the Calais monument committee in 1885. (The maquette of Andrieu d’Andres, on view nearby, is another of these.)
