Arrangement in Grey and Black, No. 2: Portrait of Thomas Carlyle
''Arrangement in Grey and Black, No. 2: Portrait of Thomas Carlyle'' is an 1872-3 oil painting by James McNeill Whistler. It depicts the Scottish social critic, philosopher and historian Thomas Carlyle in a composition similar to that of Whistler's ''Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Artist's Mother'', painted in 1871. It is now in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland.
==Background==
By the time he sat for Whistler, Thomas Carlyle had lived in Chelsea, London, for 47 years, and was one of its most recognized residents. He lived at 24 Cheyne Row, now Carlyle's House, which is preserved as a museum, very near to Lindsey House, now 96 Cheyne Walk, where Whistler had his studio.〔Curry, 247〕〔Dorment, MacDonald, et al., 143.〕 Accompanied by a mutual friend, Carlyle visited Whistler's studio, viewed the painting of the artist's mother, and according to Whistler "He liked the simplicity of it, the old lady sitting with her hands in her lap, and said he would be painted.〔Dorment, MacDonald, et al, 143-4〕 And he came one morning soon, and he sat down, and I had the canvas ready, and my brushes and palette, and Carlyle said, 'And now, mon, fire away!'"〔
