Label TextFowler's portrait of Rice was accepted as the latter's diploma-portrait presentation on April 1, 1901, eight years after Fowler qualified as an Associate with a likeness painted by Rice. The fact that the two artists painted each other's portraits caused some confusion because, at an undetermined date after 1911, the present work was reattributed as a Rice self-portrait. This mistake was corrected by the early 1950s.
