Works by James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), in the public domain: paintings, pastels, watercolours, drawings, etchings, drypoints and lithographs, published online by the museums that hold them, each linked to its museum record. Prints exist in many states and impressions: one impression is shown per composition, the best photographed, preferably in the final state, cropped to the printed image. The photographs come from the museum itself when it publishes them under an open licence (CC0), otherwise from Wikimedia Commons, in the public domain. Only works that the museum attributes to Whistler himself are included, without 'after', 'workshop of' or 'attributed to'.
