This sculpture is called La Pensee, or Thought, and it was created by Auguste Rodin in 1895. The style is called "non finito" meaning that the sculpture is meant to look unfinished. For somewhat obvious reasons it can be related to Michelangelo's Slaves. Unlike Michelangelo however, Rodin's purpose for the sculpture was fulfilled. This incompleteness was in fact it's intended form. This was created in France, and now resides there still at the Musee d'Orsay.
