		Freer considered his American holdings of 1,582 works by Whistler, Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1850—1938), Dwight William Tryon (1849—1925), Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849—1921), John Singer Sargent (1856—1925) and others to be complete, and so there have been no additions to the American works Freer collected.
