"Dudley Gallery. Cabinet Pictures in Oil. The First Winter Exhibition." The Art-Journal, 1 December 1867: 269.

Certainly the gallery contains remarkable, not to say abnormal and aberrant, works... Also among the aberrant eccentricities of genius must be reckoned the productions of Simeon Solomon. ‘Love in Oblivion’ is suggestive to the imagination of more than paint can render, or the catalogue explain. Mystery looks out from the whole picture; a glory of colour shines from the canvas. There is often in the works of Mr. Solomon, however unsatisfactory they may be, somewhat of prophetic burden and poetic song, as in old Hebrew legends.
