Categories.  Each work is assigned to a category.  Category criteria are random or convenient.  Each category contain a group of works.  Each work bears some stated similarity to other works within its category, such as subject matter, date, canvas format or size, composition, or style.  Watercolors and drawings are contained in single separate categories.  There is a catchall category at the end of each decade for works not yet categorized.  Date ranges indicated for particular categories are approximate and not always adhered to strictly.  Dating of most 1880s works is estimated and uncertain.  

Reference Numbers.  Every work bears a six digit reference number such as, for example, Ref. 121.007.  The first three digits of the reference number are the category number.  The second three digits indicate the sequential number of the work within its assigned category.  A work's sequential number has no particular significance.  Newly identified works typically are assigned the next open sequential number or a gap number if one exists.  Works related to but not appearing within a particular category appear following works in the category and are identified as "Related Works."  This is necessary because many works bear characteristics that would qualify them for more than one category.  Click on an image of any work to see an enlarged image and data about the work.  There is also a zoom feature to study details or further enlarge the image.  

Large Works.  Large works from all categories are collected in Category 119 in approximate chronological order.  The "Large Works" category preempts all other categories.  This allows the viewer to scan through all major works by the artist at one time.  Each Large Work also is listed as a "Related Work" in each category to which it might have been assigned but for its large size.
