It exists in two contemporary variants. The first has animal features and an upright head, whilst the second leans her head to the right with a sweeter expression. Both were possibly modelled on Carmen Visconti from Fiesole in Italy, who modelled for Rodin between 1880 and 1893. It was used in the left half of the top panel of his The Gates of Hell.
