‘Royal Scottish Academy’, Glasgow Herald, 18 April 1924

[...] Of lesser known contributors I would direct special attention to Mr. J. B. Souter’s “Lot’s Wife.” The heavily cloaked figure in this brown-toned design has amplitude and expressive dignity, and the castellated hill beyond is attuned to the dominant motive. Mr D. Forester Wilson’s very effective “Field Life” has rightly a centre in the first room, where also are Mr. Philip de Laszlo’s elegant and accomplished, if not distinctive, “Mrs. Blackie” [13269] — how much or little does owe [sic] to Mr Sargent's influence, one asks?—Professor Anning Bell’s delightfully pearly “Pont Valentré, Cahors,” which puzzled guessers at the Nameless exhibition in London, and Mr. A. F. Haswell Miller's forcible “Dunure Castle.”
