The copper plate of Café Luxembourg has not been located. It was close in size to figure studies of 1887/1888 (i.e.
Resting by the Stove
[372]), views done in London (J.H. Woods' Fruit Shop, Chelsea
[327],
Bird Shop - Seven Dials
[384]), and on Whistler's honeymoon in 1888 (i.e.
Château de Bridoré
[409],
Place Daumont, Tours
[390],
The Hangman's House, Tours
[393]), and elsewhere on the continent between 1887 and 1889 (i.e. Petite Rue au Beurre, Brussels
[341]).
