pen and ink u.l. XVIII Dynasty Egyptian – Head of a Woman (princess?) in/the Archaelogical (sic) Museum, Florence./I would give everything, if I could get into my sculpture the same amount/of humanity & seriousness;/nobility & experience,/acceptance (of life added), distinction, &/aristocracy./(with added in pencil) absolutely no tricks/no affectation,/no self consciousness,/looking straight ahead, no movement, but (more added) alive, than a real person.
