James Abbott McNeil Whistler was not a painter but worked in interior design as well. The Peacock Room was created for Frederick Leyland and Whistle's role was to make minor changes to the design of Thomas Jeckyll.
Frederick Leyland did not see the changes as minor. To see this example of Ango-Japanese art, you don't need to go to England. The Peacock Room is on exhibit at the Freer Gallery in Washington D.C.
