The copper plate has no maker's mark. It is the same size as a number of plates from the London firm of Hughes & Kimber including Resting by the Stove [372], Gateway, Chartreuse, near Loches [421], Petite Rue au Beurre, Brussels [341], Place Daumont, Tours [390], The Hangman's House, Tours [393] and Château Touraine [410], all of which date from 1887 and 1888.
It was in Whistler's studio at his death and was bequeathed to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), who gave it to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with a diagonal line from above centre left to just above the lower right corner.
