Kauffmann Memorial was originally surveyed as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1993. The memorial is a tribute and grave for the former owner of the Washington Star, Samuel Kauffmann.[1] DescriptionThe memorial features a curved granite wall exedra with seven bronze relief panels on the curve and a curved bench. Upon the bench, a "classically-draped" figure of a woman sits. She leans forward with her head bowed, looking down at a wreath made of asphodel she is in the process of making. She wears a robe tied at the waist, sandals, and her hair is pulled back and curved around her face. This woman represents "Memory," and the bronze panels (15 in. x 26 in.) depicts scenes from Shakespeare's "Seven Ages of Men," from As You Like It. In front of the bench and wall is a large urn that is placed on a low granite block. The front of the urn has the inscription: KAUFFMANN[1] Artist{{Main|William Ordway Partridge}}ConditionThis sculpture was surveyed in 1994 for its condition and it was described that "treatment needed".[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | author=Save Outdoor Sculptures! | year=1993 | title=Kauffmann Memorial (sculpture) | work=SOS! | publisher=Smithsonian | url=http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=all&source=~!siartinventories&uri=full=3100001~!18202~!0#focus | accessdate= 29 May 2010}} Further reading
