"I would prefer to have a more appealing job. If I could still change careers, I would prefer it. This unfortunate art is made for long beards and ugly faces rather than for a relatively well-endowed woman"

The quote by Camille Claudel reflects her discontentment with her current job. She expresses her desire to have a more enticing job, and her remorse that she can not alter professions. She indicates that her present job is not ideal for her, as it is produced "long beards and unsightly faces" instead of for a "reasonably well-endowed lady" like herself. This suggests that she feels her task is not appropriate for her due to the fact that of her gender and physical look. Her words reflect her frustration with the limited chances readily available to her as a lady in the 19th century. She is expressing her desire to have a job that is preferable for her, and her remorse that she can not pursue a different profession.
