Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1, famous under its colloquial
name Whistler's Mother, is a painting in oils on canvas created by the
American-born painter James McNeill Whistler in 1871. The painting is 56.81 by
63.94 inches (144.3 cm × 162.4 cm), displayed in a frame of Whistler's own
design in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, having been bought by the French state in
1891. It is now one of the most famous works by an American artist outside the
United States. It has been variously described as an American icon and a
Victorian Mona Lisa.
