Just him and the painting?
1:01:15
What have I learnt
1:01:17
that I can say
about this painting?
1:01:26
Well, firstly, it's quite big.
1:01:30
Which is excellent.
1:01:35
Because if it was really small -
you know, microscopic -
1:01:39
then hardly anybody
would be able to see it,
1:01:43
which would be
a tremendous shame.
1:01:45
Secondly...
1:01:49
and I'm getting
quite near the end now
1:01:52
of this analysis
of this painting.
1:01:58
Secondly...
1:02:04
Why was it worth this man here
1:02:09
spending fifty million
of your American dollars
1:02:12
on this portrait?
1:02:16
The answer is...
1:02:20
Well, this picture
is worth such a lot of money
1:02:24
because...
1:02:29
it's a picture...
1:02:32
of Whistler's Mother.
1:02:37
And, as I've learnt
by staying with my best friend,
1:02:43
David Langley, and his family,
1:02:46
families are very important.
1:02:50
And even though Mr Whistler
1:02:54
was perfectly aware
1:02:56
that his mother
was a hideous old bat
