   The fact that the ape-like Darwin is holding the mirror and not the real ape shows that Darwin and his theory should be ridiculed. Darwin himself has acknowledged that "[he] has given man a pedigree of prodigious length, but not, it may be said, of noble quality." [7] Consequently, the ape is not enhanced in status through his kinship with man.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goldfinch_(painting)

   The Dutch title of the painting is the bird's nickname, puttertje, which refers to this custom and is a diminutive equivalent to "draw-water", an old Norfolk name for the bird. [8] [10] The goldfinch frequently appears in paintings, not just for its colourful appearance but also for its symbolic meanings.
