Anna McNeill Whistler
("Whistler's Mother")


Image

Anna Matilda (née McNeill) Whistler (September 27, 1804 – January 3, 1881) was the mother of American-born, British-based painter, James McNeill Whistler, who made her the subject of his famous painting Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1, often titled, Whistler's Mother.

Congrats agamal - a brilliant deduction! I'm curious how you figured that out, or was it a lucky guess? I was expecting this one to go on for a little while longer. :)

Comments on the questions:

17. Are you involved in the church? - According to one source I found, Anna McNeill Whistler was "very religious" and her son had to tone down his lifestyle when she moved in with him. :) However, as I've said before, almost everybody in the extended European world went to church in the 19th century, so a question phrased like this isn't very informative. If asked "Are you known for your work in the church?" the answer would have been no. This was the red herring I had in mind. :D

35. Has this person contributed anything to students? - Although (AFAIK) Whistler's mother never taught anything herself, a lot of people have studied the painting.

I was intrigued by the questions about India and Antarctica - it would have been nice to say yes. Apparently Anna McNeill Whistler did live in Russia for several years - no less exotic for an American woman at the time - but nobody asked about that. :)

Thank you so much avo :-)
I checked famous death from the year 1881, there was not many white (Caucasian) women from America continent, with the last name starting with R, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
then I read biographies, on wiki I didn't find any information about her religious life, but on different website http://ncpedia.org/biography/whistler-anna-mathilda there was such something - pure luck I guess :lol:

I'm so glad to be back to these games!!!
