That passage didn’t say he took credit, but rather that society (1890s France) refused to give credit to her because of her gender. It feels like OP knows more about this than I do, so I figured there was more to the story than what the Wikipedia page says.

There is! But I’m not an art historian so I don’t feel confident laying it out for you. You can blame me for talking out my arse (but don’t we all on social media) - but there is much more to the story.
What did Rodin do wrong? End the relationship?
Mostly the credit taking I’d gather.

Sorry. Not OP. I’m the OP. “The person I’m responding to”, I should have said. 🙂
