James Abbott McNeil Whistler intended to paint his mother standing, but when she grew tired, he allowed her to sit while he completed his most famous painting, “Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1.” In 1891, the painting, more commonly known as “Whistler’s Mother,” became the first American artwork ever bought by the French state. It’s now on display at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
The correct answer to this quiz is Whistler’s Mother.
