After Whistler?s death in 1903, his heir and sister-in-law, Rosalind Birnie Philip, commissioned the London printer, Frederick Goulding, to print posthumous editions of many of Whistler?s lithographs. Between October 1903 and May 1904, Goulding pulled impressions from 94 stones and transferred and printed 10 previously untransferred lithographic drawings. Whistler drew this image in the summer of 1884. The Luxembourg was close to Whistler?s studio on the rue Notre Dame des Champs, and he had already produced a number of studies of the garden, in a variety of different media. The composition of this lithograph is related to an etching by Whistler, entitled "The Balustrade, Luxembourg Gardens" (Kennedy 427).
