August P. Trovaioli and Roulhac B. Toledano write of the present work, "'Hotel Royal' [on the figure's bag] refers to a fashionable boarding house in the French Quarter, New Orleans, frequented by [William Aiken] Walker. Also, there is an advertisement for Green River Whisky with this same figure, Deacon Cuffy, standing by a mule." (William Aiken Walker: Southern Genre Painter, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 1972, p. 91)
