Default Painting Identification

I'm looking for the author's name and the exact title and the location of the attached picture. I know it's a surreal paraphrase of Velasquez's famous Las Meninas, but I couldn't find any useful information about it. I thought it is made by René Magritte, but the signature looks different, and I went through all known museum collections mentioning Magritte's paintings, but couldn't find it. Does anybody know any useful information on this painting?

Interesting. It's definitely a deliberate reference to Magritte, but I don't recall having seen it before. There's a signature at the lower left that does not appear to read "Magritte".
