I'm difficult. I like his portrait of Carlyle in the same style better than the one of his mom.

I never knew much about Whistler, but saw a couple of his paintings at the Frick. They knocked me out.

That's Carlyle the old curmudgeon? I did not know he did a self portrait in his book about clothing style, but there it is.

I totally agree that Carlisle is better (to me) than Whistler's mother. It's just that the latter became such an icon, right away.
I actually find Whistler's white works somewhat boring. Not a lot of drama in white....
