Literature
A. Kidson, George Romney A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings, vol. III, New Haven and London, 2015, cat. no. 1770, p. 818 (as untraced)

We are grateful to Alex Kidson for confirming the attribution to George Romney upon examination of colour photographs. In his 2015 publication he suggests that the present work is a plausible candidate for the companion piece to Romney's Girl and Dancing Dog, presently untraced (see: A. Kidson, ibid, p. 818, cat. no. 1769).
