Modeled in 1922, this sculpture won the competition for the Darlington Memorial Fountain placed in Court House Square at Washington, D.C.  This, the only other casting, was formerly located at Rydal, Pennsylvania, in the garden of Charles Louis Borie, a close friend of the sculptor.  This sculpture was awarded the Fairmount Park Association Prize of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1926.  It was acquired by Brookgreen Gardens in 1940.
