Eternal Spring (1882).
The front-facing composition leads one to suppose that this group was perhaps originally designed as part of the Gates of Hell,
but it was finally excluded since the expression of happiness on these lovers' faces could not be found a place in the
tragic universe portrayed in the Gates of Hell. The torso of the young woman, which is in fact the Torso of Adèle extended with arms,
head and legs, is shown in the upper left-hand corner of the tympanum. Her arched back creates a sort of transition with the architecture of the whole.
It is also to be found in the Fall of an angel, leaning backwards on a mound.
Height 25 cm, Width 30 cm Depth 17 cm.
