The copper plate has no maker's name. It was close in size to several plates including The Fan [375], Beatrice Whistler painting from a window, Bourges [399], Three studies of women's heads [400] and Baby Pettigrew [374].
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 left corner.
