No, it should raise an exception, like I would expect New Picture to do. Note the difference between New Picture and NewPicture -- the latter is a function that returns a result; the former uses the New operator, which is defined to always return a valid object. The only way that New can fail is to raise an exception, bypassing the return altogether.
