* "[Peploe] sees the human form with clear eyes, noting the beauty that lurks in every corner of nature, and determined to set it down for us .. Every one strikes one as having been done just because it happened in life under the artist's observation. There is no deliberate posing of the model in evidence anywhere and the result is a record of indisputable facts." (Guy Peploe, S J Peploe 1871-1935, 2000, p.49)
