Whistler with the white lock dates from between 1876 and 1879; stylistically, a date early in this period is indicated.
It may have been the drypoint 'Head' sold by Whistler in 1877. 1
Frederick Wedmore (1844-1921) dated this drypoint 1879, which is too late, although it was published in set of cancelled plates by the Fine Art Society in 1879. 2
