The copper plate has no maker's mark and is different in size from any other plate.

It was in Whistler's studio at his death and was bequeathed to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), who gave it to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with a short diagonal line across the lower right corner.
