The ‘Young Musician,’ &c., of S. Solomon, No. 493, is a work of higher finish, and of almost infinitely higher and purer feeling, than either of those just noticed [J. Brett's Warwick Castle and H. Wallis's Elaine]; and although deficient in colour, it is redolent of deep and pious feeling. (p.196)

No. 581, ‘The Arrest of a Deserter,’ Miss R. Solomon, is a clever picture, and, in all respects, most creditable to the lady artist; but it is not quite equal to ‘Peg Woffington,’ exhibited by Miss Solomon last year, which was an extraordinary picture for character. (p.197)
