The copper plate is the same or close in size to a number of plates used by Whistler, including Resting by the Stove
[372], which dates from about 1887, and also many plates etched in the following year, including The Hangman's House, Tours
[393],
Place Daumont, Tours
[390],
The Market, Bruges
[354], and Café Luxembourg
[436].
The copper plate of Petite Rue au Beurre, Brussels 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 bottom left corner.
