Dr. Ilene Susan Fort dates this painting circa 1897. According to her, "Bridgman dated a few paintings with Roman numerals...all seem to be close in number, and from the style and themes seem to date to the late 1890s...Bridgman began setting female models at a window early on, but he seems to have created most of the compositions like On the Balcony in the 1890s."
