In the early teens, Diederich studied in Paris with the animal sculptor Emmanuel Fremeit. Dierderich became associated with the artist's colony in Woodstock during the 1920s and early '30s. In 1920 he held his first exhibition in the United States at the Kingore Gallery, and the show featured works primarily of animal and sporting subjects. His works focused on sleek, graceful and dynamic animals that tended to be restrained in a circular format. This distinctive style is evident in the present bronze.
