"West Point Cadets" is a notable painting by the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created during his brief tenure at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Whistler, who is renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to portraiture and landscape, attended West Point from 1851 to 1854. Although his time at the academy was cut short due to academic and disciplinary issues, it provided a unique backdrop for his early artistic endeavors.

The painting captures a group of cadets in their distinctive uniforms, set against the picturesque and disciplined environment of the military academy. Whistler's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the essence of his subjects are evident in this work. The composition reflects his early experimentation with form and light, elements that would become hallmarks of his later, more mature style.

"West Point Cadets" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It offers a glimpse into the life and atmosphere of one of America's premier military institutions during the mid-19th century. The painting is also a testament to Whistler's evolving artistic vision, showcasing his transition from a student of military discipline to a pioneering figure in the art world.

While the painting itself may not be as widely recognized as some of Whistler's later works, such as "Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1" (commonly known as "Whistler's Mother"), it remains an important piece within his oeuvre. It provides valuable insight into the early influences and experiences that shaped his artistic journey. Today, "West Point Cadets" is appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts for its historical significance and its place within the broader narrative of Whistler's illustrious career.
