The copper plate has no maker's mark. It was close in size to a number of etchings including several figure subjects (The Fur Cloak - Mrs Herbert [367], Nora Quinn [364] and The Busby [368]) and continental views (Passages de l'Opéra [386], Archway, Brussels [344] and Balustrade, Luxembourg Gardens [465]).
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death and was given by Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958) to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with a diagonal line across the upper left corner.
