The following list has been prepared by Dr Joanna Meacock, formerly of the Whistler Etchings Catalogue Raisonné Project, University of Glasgow. It includes more detail on provenance than other entries in the Later Victorian Portraits Catalogue, and the text layout is slightly more expansive. The many caricatures of Whistler have been allocated a section of their own. [1]


James McNeill Whistler was the single most depicted artist prior to the twentieth century. More than four hundred portraits by approximately one hundred artists represent this American expatriate from the age of ten to his death at the age of sixty-eight. Denker 1995, p.16.
