The Three Shades (Les Trois Ombres) is a sculptural group produced in plaster by Auguste Rodin in 1886 for his The Gates of Hell. He made several individual studies for the Shades before finally deciding to put them together as three identical figures gathered around a central point. The heads hang
low so that the neck and shoulders form an almost-horizontal plane. They were to be placed above the gates looking down on the viewer.
