In 1937, George Rickey received one of the first Carnegie grants to become artist-in-residence at Olivet College in Michigan. The artist William Dole, an undergraduate at the time, became Rickey's assistant on a mural he painted on one of the walls of the college. They embarked on a lifelong friendship, visiting each other over the years at the Rickey homes in East Chatham and Berlin or the Dole's homes in Santa Barbara, Florence and Rome. In referring to their time at Olivet, Rickey said, "I never knew which one of us was the teacher."
In 1960 when Dole was the chairman of the Art Department at the University of California at Santa Barbara, he invited George to come West and teach for the summer. The Doles offered to have the Rickeys stay with them that summer, and at the end of their time in Santa Barbara, George presented them with the present work.
