It was first exhibited in 'Notes' - 'Harmonies' - 'Nocturnes', Messrs Dowdeswell, London, 1884 (cat. no. 32). The butterfly signature was added much later, in 1897. 1

It is now believed that Blue and Gold: The Schooner is the same picture as Green and Gold: The Sloop [YMSM 368].

Notes:

1: Whistler to S. Bing, [19-29 May 1897], GUW #13034.
