<mods:note>Sixth state of seven.</mods:note>
<mods:note>The two lower steps are shaded by vertical lines immediately to the left of the girl's feet; the head of the woman, who wears a cap, is larger, and there is intricate work on the shadows in the doorway. The drypoint lines in the water have been worked over or have disappeared.</mods:note>

</mods:physicalDescription>
<mods:abstract>Upon the border of a canal, a great doorway, set within a round arch and open below a grille of iron framework wrought in squares, is flanked by round-arched windows barred with iron grilles of diamond pattern; the whole encased by moldings of elaborate stone carving. Beyond heavy doors, swung back over a broad stone platform, a dark passageway, from the ceiling of which chairs are hung, leads by irregular steps to a court, lighted by barred windows, where people are at work. At the right side of the doorway, a girl stands on the second step leading from the canal, and back of her, in the shadow, stands a woman. The butterfly, shaded, appears above the arch of the window at the left.</mods:abstract>
