The stencil mark on the reverse of this painting is that of the Philadelphia colorman Scholz & Janentzky, importer of canvas prepared by Charles Roberson of London, which was used by the firm from 1858 to 1860. The Philadelphia portraitist Thomas Sully made numerous copies of Rembrandt's Young Girl Leaning on a Windowsill (1645, Dulwich Picture Gallery, London), which he called "Rembrandt's Peasant Girl," between 1850 and 1866. Several of these copies have recently appeared at auction. Another prominent Philadelphia artist, Rembrandt Peale, had painted a version of Rembrandt's picture in 1846 known as "Girl at the Window" (Rosalba; The Burgomaster's Daughter), which is owned by the El Paso Museum of Art in Texas.
