The present work is an autograph version, with many pentiments, of the painting in the collection of Saint Mary's Art Guild, Detroit. According to McKerrow (Mary McKerrow, The Faeds, A Biography, 1981, p. 34) the original painting, which was painted in 1856, was bought by the publisher James Keith of Princes Street, Edinburgh for £200. The composition was engraved by William Hall.
