Menzel was the leading master of later 19th-century German art. In its deftness and subtlety of line and modelling, it compares with the life drawings of Degas, also represented in the Barber Collection. The drawing is a study for the gouache entitled 'Contribution', signed and dated 1884, and now in the Kupfertichkabinett, Berlin.
