The Guitar Player (M. W. Ridley) dates from 1874 or 1875. It is dated from the technique and the butterfly signature. In addition, Whistler wrote '1875' on one impression () - but this may have been when he sold it rather than the date of the drypoint.
Other portraits of this date include The Boy (Charlie Hanson) 145,
Agnes 146,
The Scotch Widow 147,
The Silk Dress 151 and Girl Standing 152.
