Eastern influence & Peacocks




The Peacock Room was an interior created by the painter James McNeill Whistler. Originally created in a Kensington (London) residence it now is located in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington. There is such a strong influence of east asian art and ornament within the interior. Created in 1876-77. The book titled The Peacock Lounge by Linda Merrill is beautifully illustrated and informative.
