A photograph in the E. R. & J. Pennell Collection, Library of Congress, identified the model as 'Tillie'.

Matilda Gilchrist (b. 1828 or 1829) posed for the etching Tillie: A Model [113] and probably for the figure at left in The White Symphony: Three Girls [YMSM 087] and The Three Girls [YMSM 088].
