Includes free shipping (including overage surcharge) Maker and Year: This "The Thinker" statue was manufactured by Austin Productions in 1962. Austin Productions was known for creating affordable reproductions of famous sculptures, making art more accessible to a wider audience. Material: While Rodin's original "The Thinker" was typically cast in bronze, Austin Productions often utilized a proprietary material called "Durastone" for their reproductions, which is a combination of resin, marble, and stone, providing a durable and aesthetic finish. Some sources also mention chalk or plaster with a bronze-like finish. Design: This sculpture replicates the contemplative pose of Rodin's original, showing a nude male figure seated, leaning forward with his right elbow resting on his left thigh, and his chin supported by his hand, embodying deep thought and contemplation. Historical Context: Austin Productions was active in creating such reproductions from the 1950s until 2009, with the early 1960s being a period of significant popularity for their works like this "The Thinker".
