Stolnische Zeitung, 23 July 1888, disliked a work that might have been this watercolour:
'Wenn dagegen Whistler und zumutet, dass wir auch in seinen Wasserfarben Arrangements, bei denen eine mit einigen Bleistift-strichen hingeworsene nachte Figur mit einem violetten Gewand flek und dergl. uns vorgeführt wird, Runstwerke bewundern follen, dann ist die Sumutung doch zu stark.'
