"... Pure colour highlights lift it beyond the tonal concerns of the mid-1880's naturalism of the Glasgow Boys, the warm hues creating a purely decorative surface pattern, texture and shallow picture space which elicited Richard Muther's 'persian carpet' observation, as he selected Glasgow pictures to exhibit in Germany." from Bonhams catalogue notes
