Camille made several busts of her, but I don&#039;t know if Madeleine had a sister. Or if Camille portrayed friends of Madeleine. But it is something you could research as well. Here is more info, in French:</p><p><a href="http://www.roubaix-lapiscine.com/collections/sculptures/camille-claudel-1864-1943/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.roubaix-lapiscine.com/collections/sculptures/camille-claudel-1864-1943/" rel="nofollow">http://www.roubaix-lapiscine.com/collections/sculptures/camille-claudel-1864-1943/</a></p><p>Another &quot;La Petite Châtelaine&quot;:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcStEewbkIdrjQtiAnu2EmjdqD4Y888oY08oGOHq5cVdZzRwdlxYcQ&amp;sp=f13ca3a7a4d172752af3f0f804c3d56e&amp;anticache=69456" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the signature I have so far found on most pieces by her, but signatures can change, and I don&#039;t know if her mental instability influenced it as well.
