<blockquote>
There stands out a female head from the brush of Ian Campbell, the Glasgow artist. The modern tones are rallied in this latter work, and while it is, therefore in comparison with the others, a brightly cheerful picture, there is nothing that is 'ultra' in it, and as a study of a beautiful young girl it exemplifies the delightful effect possible by the use of lighter colours, firmly but delicately laid on.
