The Succubus is a bronze sculpture with a green and dark brown patina.

It was originally conceived in 1889 by the French artist Auguste Rodin as part of a set of works showing sirens and Nereids.

It shows a succubus, a demon taking on female form to deceive and seduce human men.

The figure kneels in a feline posture, evoking medieval associations between cats and the forces of darkness.

[1] French sculptor Camille Claudel is thought to be the model for the statue.
