 Mater around the world
In 1865, Mother Anna Shannon, then vicar in Louisiana, traveled to Paris where she met Pauline Perdrau; Mother Shannon asked the artist to paint in oils two copies of Mater. She agreed and they were sent to New Orleans in the following year.

The other copy is now in Grand Coteau.
