Nocturne: Blue and Silver – Chelsea is a painting. It is the earliest of the London Nocturnes by James McNeill Whistler.
The work has influences from Oriental art. The connection to Japanese prints and Chinese paintings is underscored by Whistler's use of the 'butterfly' signature in the centre of the bottom edge of the painting.
