There is an earlier version of this composition in a private collection (Offenstadt 1999, no. 168bis), as well as two other paintings by Béraud depicting the Pont des Arts: "Pretty Artist, Pont des Arts" (private collection; Offenstadt no. 166) and "Quai de la Seine, near the Pont des Arts" (Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow; Offenstadt no. 167).
