Standing figure probably dates from November or December 1893. Spink et al associate it with Little Draped Figure, Leaning c076 and four other lithographs drawn in Paris at this date. 1 The word 'Faute' (French for fault) confirms that this went to a printer in Paris. The fine grained papier viennois is characteristic of this period.

The butterfly signature is consistent with a date of the mid-1890s. Technique alone would not date it so precisely: similar fine diagonal shading is seen in a lithograph of 1893, The Draped Figure, Back View c077, but also in later drawings such as The Dancer (No.1) [M.1624], which date from about 1900.
