In a conversation with Katherine Ware in 2016, Noggle's longtime friend and assistant Jim Holbrook identified the subject at Matalie Wham, a concert pianist who was Nancy Barry's girlfriend before Barry and Noggle got together. Holbrook stated that this picture was probably taken at Matalie's house in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights.
