Question

Whose picture has been described in the poem a photograph

Answer 1

Answer:

The photograph is amusingly a dysphoric one. The condition of mother being happy in the photo and the joy of the artist to see her mother in a joyful or happy state both are associated with depressed side.

Incidentally the mother has passed away to see her happy and in the meantime the writer does not have her mother to make the poet herself joyful.

Both are entertaining yet frustrating as the condition of feeling happy and discharged is unnatural. There is a profound loss of discomfort.
