According to James L. Yarnall, the present work “is a study for a stained-glass window that was originally installed in the country home of William C. Whitney in Old Westbury, Long Island. A companion window of Spring depicting a semi-nude female figure was also commissioned for the house. The two windows were installed in the entry way to the house in 1902.” (unpublished letter, 1990)

The Spring stained glass window is now in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania, and the Autumn window is installed in the French Cultural Embassy in New York (previously the Harry Payne Whitney Residence). An earlier design for the window is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, though Whitney ultimately chose the present design.
