Lost Camille Claudel sculpture sells for over $3 million at French auction

A lost bronze sculpture by Camille Claudel was auctioned in France for over $3 million. The piece, titled "The Mature Age," symbolizes Claudel's separation from artist Auguste Rodin. The sculpture was discovered by auctioneer Matthieu Semont in a Paris flat that had been abandoned for 15 years. He found it while lifting a dust sheet in September. Claudel, who struggled for recognition, created this work after ending her relationship with Rodin. The sculpture depicts an elderly man being pulled away by a woman, with a young woman pleading on her knees.
