Focus on Sakuntala (Claudel) and discuss the Background.
Camille Claudel came to Paris in 1882 to study sculpture.  She became a student of Auguste Rodin in 1884, and she became his associate and lover.  He eventually refused to marry her, reluctant to end his long-term relationship with Rose Beuret, mother of his son and later his wife.  This love triangle, and an abortion in 1892, caused a separation between Claudel and Rodin, but they remained on reasonable terms until 1898, when she moved away and opened her own studio.
