• 1892: Société des Pastellistes français, Goupil, Paris, 1892 (ex cat.).

It was described in Le XIX siècle on 30 March as 'une femme nue, un éventail à la main, d'un dessin vif, mais un peu frivole.' Le Temps, on the same day, described Whistler's pastels as 'les Odalisques couchées ... de curieuses symphonies de rose et de bleu'. It may possibly have been Rose et Opale [M.1231].
