Beerbohm, who produced more than 2000 caricatures during his lifetime, "dismantled,"as one critic put it, "the pose of almost every significant figure in view from Queen Victoria to Rudyard Kipling to Matthew Arnold's niece." He hid from view the effort it took to produce his brilliant send-ups.

Max, after all, was one of Edwardian London’s most inveterate diners-out, while Grainger first made a name for himself as a society pianist who played regularly at the fashionable soirées musicales where Max often found himself after dinner, hobnobbing with Sargent and Henry James.
Beerbohm’s caricatures are too pale in color to read well from across a room, so I knew I should try to hang this one fairly close to the couch where I usually sit when reading or listening to music.
Max wouldn’t have liked that at all—he hated modern art—but I assured myself that he would at least have been amused by the incongruity.
