Among the ten works included in Jacquemart’s portfolio of etchings celebrating the founding purchase of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this is the only painting that is no longer in the collection. For reasons of condition, it was deaccessioned in 1989. In his review of the plate, the British critic and etching advocate, Philip Gilbert Hamerton admired the frankness of the "bare etched line" and the "varied employment of it" such that the print "suggests everything of the picture but its colour."
