Description
People walking up and sitting on the steps to the British Museum seem not to notice the tall female figure in a long black dress standing facing them. The figure is most likely Weems. The stairs cut midway through the image on a horizontal line. The vertical line of a large poster announcing a Michelangelo exhibit is between the still figure and the museum goers. The top portion of the image is dominated by columns at the entrance.
