Also known as "The Violoncellist," this powerful portrait is one of the standout plates from Whistler’s "Thames Set," though its subject matter is purely soulful and artistic. It depicts Juste Becquet, a sculptor and musician friend of Whistler’s, leaning over his cello in a moment of intense focus.
