Camille Claudel (Fère-en-Tardenois, 8 December 1864 - Montdevergues, 19 October 1943) was a French sculptress. She played an important role in the life of the sculptor Auguste Rodin. Camille Claudel was born in the countryside in the north of France, in the department of Aisne. She was the oldest sister of the poet, dramatist and diplomat Paul Claudel.

The Mature Age (in French, "L'Âge mûr"), also named Destiny, The Path of Life or Fatality (1894–1900) is a sculpture by French artist Camille Claudel. The work was commissioned by the French government in 1895, but the commission was cancelled in 1899 before a bronze was cast. A plaster version of the sculpture was exhibited in 1899, and then cast in bronze privately in 1902. A second private bronze casting was made in 1913, and it is thought that the plaster version was destroyed at that time.

The two bronzes are exhibited in Paris, the first at the Musée d'Orsay and the second at the Musée Rodin.
