MediumBronze with brown and green patina

Youth Triumphant is one of the sculptures created by Auguste Rodin as part of the planning for his The Gates of Hell.[1] It was inspired by Jean Dampt's The Grandmother's Kiss, exhibited in 1893. That work shows a young woman resting in the arms of an old woman, with the pair deeply kissing.

He also produced variants of the work. George Grappe concludes that - after Rodin became more popular and he and his companion Rose Beuret signed a 10-year contract with the Fumière et Gavinot foundry - the work was reproduced in different sizes.[2] One cast is in the Museo Soumaya.
