Label TextWeldon wrote the Academy soon after his election as an Academician that he was sending his diploma picture and "request[ing] permission to substitute for it at some future time a more important example of my work." The original painting was likely this student work executed seventeen years earlier in Paris. Weldon apparently never substituted a more mature example of his art.
