Sculptor left advice on a Rodin bust (8,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
leonardo da vinci
'sculptor' is the definition.
(Leonardo da Vinci is an example)
'left advice on a rodin bust' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation**).
'bust' indicates an anagram.
'advice'+'on'+'a'+'rodin'='adviceonarodin'
'adviceonarodin' with letters rearranged gives 'eonardodavinci'.
'l'+'eonardodavinci'='LEONARDO DA VINCI'
(Other definitions for leonardo da vinci that I've seen before include "artist ..." , "Renowned painter" , "He painted" , "Italian painter" , "Mona Lisa painter" .)
