"La Mère Gérard" is an artwork by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in the mid-19th century. This piece is notable as it is considered one of Whistler's earliest known etchings, showcasing the artist's burgeoning skill and interest in the medium of printmaking. The work is a portrait of an elderly woman, known as Mère Gérard, who was a vendor at a Parisian market. Whistler encountered her during his stay in France, where he was influenced by the Realist movement and the works of French artists.

The etching is characterized by its delicate lines and attention to the textures and details of the subject's attire and surroundings, reflecting Whistler's keen observation and ability to capture the essence of his subjects. "La Mère Gérard" is part of a series of etchings known as the "French Set," which were created during Whistler's time in Paris and demonstrate his early exploration into the etching technique that would later become a hallmark of his artistic career.

The artwork is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it provides insight into Whistler's development as an artist and his interactions with the Parisian art scene of the time. "La Mère Gérard" is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries, contributing to the understanding of Whistler's early work and the evolution of his distinctive style.
