The Old Courtesan[1] is a bronze cast in Auguste Rodin's The Gates of Hell from 1910 of an aged, naked female body. The sculpture is also called She Who Was Once the Helmet-Maker's Beautiful Wife (Celle qui fut la belle heaulmière). This title is taken from the poem "Les regrets de la belle heaulmière" that was written by François Villon.
