The Vice President of General Motors, Chevrolet division commissioned Fredericks to do this full-length portrait of his grandson, Michael Emmet Taylor. When brought to Fredericks’ studio for his portrait sitting, young Michael held a small ball in his hand. The youngster kept playing with the ball so Fredericks included it in the portrait.
