Notes on inscriptions:NGA website: 'From the pencilled monogram of Whistler's butterfly, one could make the assumption that this print was not signed in pencil until after 1882, because the butterfly has been drawn curved with no vertical lines appearing in its wings. Whistler used this style of butterfly after 1882.'
