We are now trying to identify a painting, satirical, of a group of apes
standing around an art work. Title may be "The Critics". Our patron
says it is well-known. Any info. would be appreciated.

Is it possible that the painting is by William Holbrook Beard (1824-1900)?
There was an article on him in The Magazine Antiques , November 1994 (sorry I
don't have the complete citation off hand), and I think I recall an image of
that painting in the article.
