Marcel Duchamp was born on July 28, 1887.  This photo shows Keith sitting outside of the North Wing Pediment of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.  The rectangle outlined in silver above Keith’s head is the window to the Duchamp Gallery.  Not part of the original building, the window was created at the request of Marcel Duchamp as part of his directed placement for his work The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass).   Learn more about this work and the amazing Duchamp collection housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art here.
