The copper plate is close in size to a number of plates dating from 1886-1888 including Chelsea Embankment [268], Model Stooping [362], Baby Pettigrew [374], Beatrice Whistler painting from a window, Bourges [399], Three studies of women's heads [400], and The Fan [375].

The plate 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 across the lower left corner.
