This monotype was previously catalogued with the date of "1876." However, the date for this monotype is given as "1866" in Harvey Buchanan, "Edgar Degas and Ludovic Lepic: An Impressionist Friendship," Cleveland Studies in the History of Art, Vol. 2 (1997): 32-121. Buchanan does not justify this dating in his text. He does discuss, however, that this monotype was exhibited in 1876 at the second Impressionist exhibition, and the same year Lepic began collaborating with Degas on monotypes. Perhaps 1866 is a typo and it should be 1876? More research is needed.
