The copper plate does not have a maker's stamp but was probably produced by Hughes & Kimber. The plate is similar in size to a number of plates including figure studies such as The Menpes Children [300] and Woman sleeping in a chair [401], and to several other scenes etched in Loches including Theatre, Loches [418] and Hôtel de la Promenade, Loches [415].
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death and 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.
