Worth a Thousand Words: The Peacock Room

Central Shutters in The Peacock Room
1876-77, by James McNeill Whistler (American, 1834-1903). Oil paint and metal leaf on leather, canvas, and wood

I'd never have seen these if not for Margaret's feature at ten thousand places  on James Whistler. She's been having an art week which I meant to mention before now as I have been enjoying it a great deal. Go over and browse around.
