Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1, best known under its colloquial name Whistler's Mother (aka Mr. Bean painting), is a oil on canvas created by the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler in 1871. Anna McNeill Whistler posed for the painting while living in London with her son at Chelsea.
It is exhibited in and held by the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, having been bought by the French state in 1891. The image has been repeatedly appropriated for commercial advertisements and parodies and is 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. For example, in 1934 the U.S. Post office issued a stamp engraved with a stylized image of Whistler's Mother, accompanied by the slogan "In Memory and In Honor of the Mothers of America".
