The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, usually placed on a stone pedestal. The work shows a nude male figure of over life-size sitting on a rock with his chin resting on one hand as though deep in thought and is often used as an image to represent philosophy.
Today there are over 20 bronze and plaster casts of this statue scattered all over the world. These differ in original and monumental size.
One of the monumental casts was erected in 1904 in the courtyard of the Glyptothek.
