Whistler with the White Lock is a 1879 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting features a portrait of a man with a white lock of hair, rendered in a loose, expressive style. The subject's face is the main focus, with bold lines and shading used to convey a sense of depth and character. A closer look reveals the use of etching and drypoint techniques to create a range of textures and tones. The overall effect is one of quiet introspection, inviting the viewer to contemplate the subject's thoughts and emotions.
