Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Sir John Everett Millais, President of the Royal Academy, Vol. 2
In Rosalind and Celia two or three broad streaks of the brush express exactly a fallen leaf which a few years before would have been highly worked up; and both here and in other works of the period a distinct change is observable in the artist's methods - in flesh-painting no less than in the treatment of costume and landscape. And yet nothing was lost; the quality of the work remained unchanged; it Simply produced now with a freedom of touch that proclaimed the maturity of the artist's power.
