    1. It's quite big.
    2. It's a picture of Whistler's mother.

      3. It’s not just a painting. It’s a picture of a mad old cow who Whistler thought the world of and that’s marvellous

      It’s ironic the Mr Bean calls the painting quite big in his speech because in comparison to the real thing it’s in fact microscopic

    I searched about this painting after watching Mr. Bean. Though I'm not an art fan however this art makes me emotional through Mr. Bean's speech. And Mr.Beans pic popsup into my mind looking into this pic.

    I think,When you look at Whistler's mother,seems like what most people think of their home countries or homelands: It's simple,plain,silent,pure love from the deep hearts,full of gratitude and inspiration.

    What I like about the painting is that it's quite big, which is excellent, because if it was really small, you know, microscopic, then hardly anybody would be able to see it, which would be a tremendous shame!😄😄😄

    If I search "Whistler's Mother" in the search bar, this video doesn't show up, yet there are quite a number of Bean Movie scenes about this painting, collectively garnering more than 30M views.
    I can't be the only one who was intrigued to know more about the painting (but I was interested enough about it to dig deeper hence why I found this video) surely you can get more views if you put "Whistler' Mother" somewhere in the title or in the info card making it easier for people to find this video, don't you think?
    Fyi, I had to rummage the comments section of a horror video just to find the keyword for finding this video..
