[newspaper article in The Times, no date}
There are two Cotmans - "Among the Hills," a very solemn drawing of upright rocks, like Druidical monoliths, with a yellow sky over a distant headland, and "The Shepherd," a poetical vision of blue fully modelled hills, with a red figure in the foreground, made when Cotman was cultivating a more "painter-like" style in water-colour with the aid of flour paste. This has been selected for purchase by the Felton Bequests for the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. By Girtin
