The present unrecorded work is one of several scenes executed by Longhi of elegant ladies receiving company in their palazzos. It shares compositional affinities with The Patrician Family in the Ca'Rezzonico, Venice, datable to circa 1752, and The Procurator's Visit in the National Gallery, London, Inv. no. NG1100, and as with those paintings, there is a related drawing in the Museo Correr, Venice (Inv. no. 552). Both the young lady and her maid in the present painting are described in a black and white chalk drawing, see T. Pignatti, Pietro Longhi, 1968, no. p. 126, no. 79, (fig. 1).

In a Venetian 18th Century carved giltwood frame.
