'a sculptor' is the definition.
(Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor)

'stick in the name' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'rod' (I've seen this before).
'in the' becomes 'i' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'rod'+'i'+'n'='RODIN'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
