["In these works there is an evident struggle in the mind of the artist to give to traditional form the expression of a living intention; but all that belongs to a closer imitation of nature in her individual peculiarities—all that belongs to the conception of characteristic or graceful action,—is still wanting. The form of the countenance is alike throughout; the expression, as conveyed by mien, always constrained. Yet, notwithstanding all these defects, these works must be regarded as having been mainly instrumental in opening a new path to the free exercise of art."—Kugler.]
