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
1:03:00
who looked like she had
a cactus up her backside...
1:03:04
he stuck with her,
1:03:08
and even took the time to paint
this amazing picture of her.
1:03:14
It's not just a painting.
1:03:17
It's a picture of a mad old cow
1:03:21
who he thought the world of.
1:03:25
And that's marvellous.
1:03:29
That's what I think.
1:03:50
OK, let's seal it up.
