Label TextDolph truly observed the Academy's directive that an artist's diploma presentation be a representative example of his work. His qualifying painting was one of what Samuel Isham called "an interminable series of puppies and kittens," which Dolph was forced to execute because of "the exigencies of the popular demand."
