The drawing was traced as a basis for the etching The Title Page for 'Douze Eaux Fortes d'après Nature' [22], which was printed by Auguste Delâtre (1822-1907) in November 1858.

Conservation History

The sheet was probably taken from a sketchbook. Over fifty drawings, many in sketchbooks, most of which dated from 1857-1858, were apparently given to Whistler's half-sister Deborah and/or her husband, Francis Seymour Haden, and were later removed from the sketchbooks.
