It has been suggested that the sitter is a portrait of the artist's wife. According to the artist's diaries, a companion piece entitled Envy was painted at the same time showing the sitter in a white dress, nearer the window, with the same rug and curtain. However, this painting was not exhibited at the R.S.B.A. and its location is unknown.
