A 3-cent stamp issued in 1934 to commemorate Mother's Day. It is an adaptation of James McNeill Whistler's portrait of his mother, entitled "Arrangement in Gray and Black." Known for his wit and eccentricity, Whistler was one of the most influential painters and etchers in the 19th century art world.
