| Plot Summary |
The painting which has inspired this story is "The Mother." The plot is one of mother love and sacrifice. The mother is shown first when the son is a small child, and through her lenience he is already ill-tempered and head-strong. As he grows up she continues to pamper him, against the advice of everyone, and he gambles and dissipates away their entire fortune. A married woman with whom he has been associating is shot and killed. The mother, thinking her son has committed the murder, takes the blame and goes to jail. The son visits her and tells her he is innocent. Then the warden appears and informs them that the murdered woman's husband has confessed to the act, because he could not bear to see a mother suffer.
