Model Seated dates from 1871/1873. The butterfly signature is of a very early form, suggesting this date.
It may be the study listed as 'Seated Girl 1871' by Beatrice Whistler (1857-1896) but this is not certain and since this was written some 20 years later, in the 1890s, it cannot be relied on. 1

Whistler signed and dated one impression 'Whistler - 73 -' in pencil on recto (). Although this may refer to the date of his signature, it confirms an early date for this drypoint.
