Frederick Keep Monument, Bronze memorial sculpture in Rock Creek Cemetery, United States
The monument presents two bronze figures standing together, with a female raising her arms and a male figure positioned closely at her side.
James Earle Fraser created this memorial sculpture in 1920 to honor Frederick Keep, a Washington business figure, and his wife Florence Sheffield Boardman Keep.
The figures wear Roman-style clothing with rolled drapery at the waist, reflecting classical artistic influences in early 20th-century American memorial sculpture.
The monument resides in Rock Creek Cemetery, which spans 86 acres in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, D.C, near the Soldiers' Home.
The female figure wears a cape over her head while looking downward, as the male figure gazes into the distance, both standing before a granite wall.
