The Thinker ( s )

Today's post was inspired by another blog,
that made mention of The Thinker.
Familiar to most people is this one:
The Thinker
(originally intended to depict Dante in the Divine Comedy)
Auguste Rodin, 1902

But, the one mentioned by ET upon visiting the Gibran
Museum in Bcharre, Lebanon, is this one:
The Thinker by
Kahlil Gibran,
(I'll have to do some research to get the date.)

It is interesting to note that in 1908 Gibran went
to Paris to study art with Rodin for two years.
Hence, the name of his work?    Not sure.
