The Goose Egg was also nearby the home of Marie Dorothy (M.D.) Dolph and has been featured on many postcards of Wyoming (see the photo below) The Home itself was torn down in 1960. Size and Condition: The viewable size of this painting is 8 1 2" x 6 1/2": larger than many of Dolph's other paintings. The original gold frame read more
