According to the observations of Lloyd Goodrich reprinted in the catalogue raisonné, "this drawing came to light in 1966, its resemblance in subject and stylistic refinement to the drawing assumed to be the Furling of the Jib, shown in the American Society of Painters in Water Colors 1876 exhibition, was immediately apparent. Its size and compositional complexity also imply a work intended for exhibition."
