About this work

Although Whistler provides few clues to the location of this drawing, it corresponds almost exactly in size with Brasserie à Mayence (F1898.167.) The general treatment of the subject is consistent with other drawings of 1858, and perhaps Whistler here depicts a group from Mayence, Baden Baden, or one of the other towns he visited on his Rhineland trip.
