First cousin three times removed…..
I am currently researching (PHD) Dollman who painted in many schools: genre, social realism, landscape, history, narrative, neo classical, war, animalia, sport…. Dollman studied at the RA and exhibited there regularly for 60 years. I have many images of his paintings (and own a few) which I am happy to share. I notice you have posted the Valkyries which normally lives in the Art Gallery of Western Australia except when it is travelling between Wagnerian festivals around the globe. It was painted in about 1908 at a time when he produced and had published a large number of mythological paintings
