The Strong Arm is a 1895 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a lithograph in black on laid paper, featuring a man with a strong arm. He is wearing a hat and a loose-fitting shirt, and his facial expression is serious. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the man's figure. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and depth in the painting. The strong lines and bold shading give the man a sense of solidity and presence. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the movement of Realism.
