Avarice and Lust is a sculpture by French artist Auguste Rodin, conceived between 1885-1887, representing two of the seven capital sins and is part of his sculptural group The Gates of Hell,[1] where it can be found in the lower part of the right door.[2] It's possible that the name was inspired by Victor Hugo's poem After reading Dante:[1]

The piece is made of several parts: the torso of a falling man, whose extremely long arms encircle a woman who is partially covering her face, while he is reaching for some coins. He represents greed. His body is made up with the torso from The Falling Man, with the arms in a different position, a new head and hair.[2] Lust is represented with the female figure offering her body, based on a 1888 drawing by Rodin, titled Skeleton embracing a woman.[5]
