Gold and Orange: The Neighbours probably dates from between 1895 and 1901, but could possibly have been worked on later. 1
Gold and Orange: The Neighbours, Freer Gallery of Art
It is dated from the technique, subject and composition. It was first exhibited in 1901 but in 1903, shortly before it was sold, Whistler still thought it required 'more touches.' 2
