John Singer Sargent and Cyrus E. Dallin were contemporaries in the Boston art world, and close friends. In June of 1916 Sargent was visiting Dallin's home and made this sketch of its curving portico. It is now on display at the Museum.

Dallin's home is now a private residence in Arlington. Later owners removed the curved architectural feature shown in this sketch. The current owner is planning on rebuilding it to its shape when Dallin and Sargent knew it.
