'Trixie' (Mrs Beatrice Whistler) was drawn at some time between 1892 and 1894. Lochnan dates it 1892/1893. 1
The form of the signature indicates a date after the marriage of Beatrice and James McNeill Whistler in August 1888. It shows Whistler's butterfly superimposed on Beatrice's trefoil (a monogram of her initials 'BP'). The costume suggests a date in the early or mid-1890s.
