"Fair Critics" is a notable painting by the English artist George Elgar Hicks, created in 1857. Hicks, who was born in 1824 and died in 1914, was a prominent figure in the Victorian art scene, known for his genre paintings that often depicted scenes of everyday life with a keen eye for detail and social commentary. "Fair Critics" is a prime example of his work, capturing the essence of Victorian society and its nuances.

The painting portrays a group of elegantly dressed women gathered around a table, presumably at an art exhibition or a similar social event. The women are engaged in animated discussion, presumably critiquing the artwork before them. Hicks's attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the women's attire, the textures of the fabrics, and the expressions on their faces, which convey a range of emotions from curiosity to critical appraisal.

"Fair Critics" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the role of women in the art world during the Victorian era. At a time when women's participation in the arts was often limited, Hicks's painting acknowledges their presence and influence as art critics and connoisseurs. The work can be seen as a subtle commentary on the evolving social dynamics of the period, highlighting the increasing visibility and agency of women in public and cultural spheres.

The painting is part of the collection at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where it continues to be appreciated by visitors for its historical and artistic value. "Fair Critics" remains an important work in George Elgar Hicks's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in capturing the subtleties of human interaction and the social fabric of his time.
