Whistler’s Mother is a painting done by James McNeill Whistler. It’s actually called Arrangement in Gray and Black No. 1. It was done by an American artist who resided in France. It’s kind of a somber painting with an overwhelming sense of the proper and staid. Not a whole lot of nurturing motherhood emanating from the painting but something intriguing nonetheless. I particularly like the curtains as they have so much detail and life. The severe protestant look of the woman is contrasted by the beauty and textures around her.
