The copper plate has the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.'
It is the same size as Cottage Door
[252], St James's Park
[250] and Gypsy Baby
[373]. It is also close in size to ten more plates including The Menpes Children
[300], The Baby, Gray's Inn
[288],
The Fur Tippet: Miss Lenoir
[365], The Little Hat
[366], Theatre, Loches
[418] and Marchande de Vin, Ajaccio
[485]. These vary widely in date, from 1887 to 1901.
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 right corner.
