It appears to be dated '1872' on the faint cartouche at lower right, but the last number is indistinct. It was probably first exhibited in the 6th Winter Exhibition of Cabinet Pictures in Oil, Dudley Gallery, London, 1872 (cat. no. 187) as 'Nocturne in Grey and Gold'.

Notes:

1: '1871/2' in YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 117).
