The copper plate was cancelled with eight bold crossed diagonal lines across the figure and background. It was probably among plates bought at Whistler's bankruptcy sale by the Fine Art Society, London. It was probably intended for publication in the set of Cancelled Plates by the Fine Art Society in 1879, but rejected in favour of Irving as Philip of Spain, No. 2
[159].
The copper plate was probably among those acquired in exchange for lithographs from Robert Dunthorne (b. ca 1851), by Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958). 13 The plate was given by Miss Philip to the University of Glasgow in 1935.
