"Becquet, From Sixteen Etchings" is an etching by the renowned American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1859. This work is part of Whistler's celebrated "Sixteen Etchings," also known as the "French Set," which marked a significant period in his artistic development. Whistler, who was known for his innovative approach to etching and his influence on the Aesthetic Movement, produced these etchings during his time in France, capturing the essence of Parisian life and its inhabitants.

"Becquet" specifically portrays Auguste Delâtre, a French printer and etcher, who was a close associate of Whistler. The etching is notable for its detailed and expressive depiction of Delâtre, who is shown seated and playing a musical instrument, likely a cello. Whistler's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the character and mood of his subjects are evident in this work. The intricate lines and careful shading demonstrate Whistler's mastery of the etching technique, which he had been refining since his early years as an artist.

The "French Set" was instrumental in establishing Whistler's reputation in the art world. These etchings were highly regarded for their technical excellence and their ability to capture the vibrancy and diversity of 19th-century French society. "Becquet" stands out within the set for its intimate portrayal of a fellow artist, reflecting Whistler's deep appreciation for the creative community around him.

Whistler's "Sixteen Etchings" were influential in the revival of etching as a significant art form during the 19th century. His works inspired many contemporary and future artists to explore the medium, contributing to the broader etching revival movement. Today, "Becquet" and the other etchings from the "French Set" are celebrated for their artistic merit and historical significance, and they continue to be studied and admired by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
