This sculpture, named "Mature Age", was created by Camille Claudel in 1893. It is made out of Bronze and is 131x195x78 cm large. The sculpture represents the love triangle between herself, her lover August Rodin, and his wife. Camille is on her knees attempting to grab and hold onto Rodin's hand, while he is turned and being embraced by his wife. This piece is specifically interesting as it is only one of her sculptures which meaning can be blatantly seen. The piece is labeled "Mature Age" due to the fact that she had to endure losing her lover and teacher and embrace her independence.
