Octave Mirbeau is an 1895 plaster relief by Auguste Rodin of the writer Octave Mirbeau, now in the Museo Soumaya.[1] He had got to know him thanks to The Age of Bronze and The Gates of Hell - Mirbeau visited Rodin's studio, published the first description of Gates in the review La France, promoted Rodin's other work and died only a few months before the sculptor.
Rodin mostró en varias ocasiones gratitud hacia el escritor quien desempeñó el importante papel de promotor de su obra: "Tú has hecho todo en mi vida, y tú has hecho el éxito".[2]
Mirbeau murió el 16 de febrero de 1917, unos meses antes que Auguste Rodin.[3]
