It is dated from the technique, as well as Whistler's known employment of the models, Gladys Winifred Carrington (1889-1940) and Eva Victoria Carrington (1887-1979), and the style of the sofa, which appears in other pictures and photographs (including Dornac's photograph of Whistler's studio in Paris, reproduced above).
