The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' There are a number of other plates of the same size and maker including
Woman sleeping in a chair
[401],
Market Women: Turkeys
[424],
Hôtel de la Promenade, Loches
[415], all dating from 1888, and some later etchings including, Mallarmé
[461],
Marchande de Vin, Ajaccio
[485] and
Mrs J. Birnie Philip
[479].
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 from centre left to the lower right corner.
