Write a prècis on the given passage and give a suitable title.
A painter of eminence had once resolved to finish a piece of art which should
please the whole world. When, therefore, he had drawn a picture in which his
utmost skill was exhausted, it was exposed in the public market-place, with
directions at the bottom for every spectator to mark with a brush that lay by,
every limb, and feature which seemed erroneous. The spectators came and in
the general applauded; but each, willing to show his talent at criticism, marked
whatever he thought improper. At evening, when the painter came, he was
mortified to find the whole picture one universal blot — not a single stroke
that had not the marks of disapprobation. Not satisfied with this trial, the next
day he resolved to try in a different manner and exposing his picture as before,
desired that every spectator would mark those beauties he approved or
admired. The people complied: and the artist, returning, found his picture
covered with the remarks of beauty; every stroke that had been yesterday
condemned, now received the character of approbation. “Well”, cried the
painter’ “I now find that the best way to succeed is to aim at satisfying the
few”. —
