On Whistler's mother :-)

Eh... well... hello, I'm Doctor Bean--apparently, and my job is to sit and look at paintings. So, what have I learnt that I could say about this painting? Well, firstly, it's quite big, which is excellent, because if it is really small, you know, microscopic, then hardly anybody would be able to see it, which will be a tremendous shame. Secondly--and I'm getting quite near the end now of this analysis of this painting--secondly...why was it worth this man here spending 15 million of your american dollars on this portrait? The answer is...well...this picture is worth such a lot of money because.. .it's a picture of Whistler's mother, and as I've learnt by staying with my best friend David Lanley and his family, families are very important.And even though Mr Whistler was perfectly aware that his mother was a hideous old bat who looked like she gotta cactus up her back side, he stuck with her, and even took the time to paint this amazing picture of her. It's not just a painting , it's a picture of a mad old cow who he threw the world on, and that's marvelous--well that's what I think.
