The copper plate does not have a maker's stamp but was probably produced by Hughes & Kimber. The plate is similar in size to a number of plates including figure studies such as The Menpes Children 300 and Woman sleeping in a chair 401, and to several other scenes etched in Loches including Theatre, Loches 418 and Hôtel de la Promenade, Loches 415.
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death and 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.
