Physical Object Description:
Young woman, nude, standing in profile to right. c.1928 Lithograph.
Lettered with verse on stone [not Robert Browning]:
Midst a desolation
Here my spirit stands,
Love among the ruins
Sits with idle hands
Come my souls beloved
Flower of my lone heart
Here among the ruins
Beautiful thou art
Gone all things and fallen
Life once sought to gain
Love doth still remain
Weed and springing briar
Soon will thrust and bend
the Love among the ruins
Lingers to the end
