Rodin as prey

Auguste Rodin is reputed to have a calculating look, but as a lover of women, was susceptible to 'machinations' too lol.

Claire de Choiseul is famous, but when he was in dotage in 1916, a mother and daughter tried to gain influence:

" I want to be your slave". Jeanne Bardy

" My dear little papa" Her daughter Henriette

Fortunately his friends posted guards around Hotel Biron to bar them lol!

But his drawings and small bronzes had already disappeared...!
