This appears to be No.251 in the oeuvre catalogue, listed among the works of 1864 and said to have been painted at Sunbury. The error in dating seems to be due to a misreading of the date, which though hard to make out is certainly 1861 (there is a label on the back with the title, artist's name, etc., and the words '1861 or 1864'). Fantin visited Mr and Mrs Edwards [see Tate N01952] at Sunbury in both these years: this picture must have been painted on the first occasion, during his second visit to England.
