The copper plate has no maker's mark. It is the same size as a number of plates from the London firm of Hughes & Kimber including
Resting by the Stove 372,
Gateway, Chartreuse, near Loches 421,
Petite Rue au Beurre, Brussels 341,
Place Daumont, Tours 390,
The Hangman's House, Tours 393 and
Château Touraine 410, all of which date from 1887 and 1888.
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 diagonal line from above centre left to just above the lower right corner.
