What is the problem? JAM Whistler painted a portrait of his mother. It is usually called Whistler's Mother. OK?
Whistler's Mother, otherwise known as the Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother, was an oil painting of James McNeill Whistler. It was painted in 1871.
Whistler's Mother was a painting done by American-born painter James McNeill Whistler in 1871. It is believed that Whistler's mother, Anna McNeill Whistler, posed for the painting while living in London with her son.

Usually oil paint on canvas.
i want to know what the value is for a print i bought in delaware city,de antique store around 1979 its brown and tan.
Whistler's actual title for the painting was "A study in gray and black", which he subtitled "Mother", so I'm going to assume that's who it was. James MacNeil Whistler was an excellent artist, and his work should be better known than just that one painting.
What we often call "Whistler's Mother" was actually called "Study in Gray and Black." It is only incidentally a portrait of his mother, and was painted for no buyer. He probably painted it as a compositional answer to his fellow artists, who thought he had left the art of painting too far. In other words, he did it to prove his method was sound, his sensibilities intact. Many artists since have considered it to be one of the very first "abstract paintings."
The painting "Whistler's Mother," officially titled "Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1," is located at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. Created by American artist James McNeill Whistler in 1871, the artwork is renowned for its portrayal of the artist's mother seated in profile. The museum houses a vast collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, making it an appropriate venue for this iconic piece.
