Woman sleeping in a chair may date from 1888 or the early 1890s.
The technique and the form of the butterfly signature suggest a date from 1888 or slightly later - definitely after Whistler's marriage. The costume, with slightly full sleeves, suggests a similar date, possibly the early 1890s. However, the details are not sufficiently clear to make this certain.
