"Frederick Keep Monument" was originally surveyed as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1993. This sculpture rests at the site of the grave of Frederick and Florence Keep and their child.[1] DescriptionThe main portion of this sculpture features a bronze female and male couple standing on a low rectangular base. The female raises both of her arms with her proper right and left hands resting on their respective shoulders. The male figure stands closely on her proper left side with his proper right arm behind her. Both of the figures are bare chested and wear loosely draped Roman-style drapery that is rolled at the waist, as well as Roman sandals. The female figure has a cape on over the back of her head and she looks downward. The male figure gazes out to the distance. They stand in front of a narrow granite wall. The lower right side of the sculpture is signed: J. E. FRASER The lower left side of the sculpture is marked: Kunst-Foundry N.Y. The back of the granite base is inscribed: FREDERIC A. KEEP DIED JUNE 2, 1911 AGE 53 YEARS FLORENCE SHEFFIELD BOARDMAN KEEP DIED JAN 26, 1954 AGE 89 YEARS INFANT OF F AND F. KEEP DIED OCT. 6, 1902[1] Artist{{Main|James Earle Fraser (sculptor)}}AcquisitionThe sculpture was installed just before or on October 3, 1920.[1] InformationFrederick Keep was a prominent Washington business man. His wife, Florence, was the sister of Mabel Thorp Boardman, one of the founders of the American Red Cross and American socialite Josephine Porter Boardman.[1] Her father, William J. Boardman, a lawyer and philanthropist who died August 2, 1915, also is buried in Rock Creek Cemetery.[2] She traveled frequently (often with her sister Josephine) to places such as Panama and New Orleans.[3][4] Florence was quite the socialite running in circles with the likes of Secretary of State John Hay, Agnes Meyer, Katharine Graham, Ruth Draper, and President & Mrs. Taft.[5][6][7][8] A number of Florence Keep's personal belongings were donated to the National Museum of American History by her sister Josephine, including a late 1920s evening dress that was exhibited in the Hall of American Costume from 1964-1973.[9] ConditionThis sculpture was surveyed in 1993 for its condition and it was described as needing treatment urgently.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web | author=Save Outdoor Sculptures! | year=1993 | title=Frederick Keep Monument (sculpture) | work=SOS! | publisher=Smithsonian | url=http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=all&source=~!siartinventories&uri=full=3100001~!22179~!0#focus | accessdate= 19 December 2010}} 2. ^{{cite news | author= | title=William J.
