Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 49: July, 1914 The picture softly dissolves into space and the light streaming through the windows simply emphasizes the features and brings them out into bold relief. The tonal effect of the light pouring into the half - darkened room is wonderful. The table, the dishes, the table-cloth with its worked stripes and tied corners, was of the same design and pattern as those the monks used in the dining room of the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria della Gra zie, Milan, onthe walls of which this picture was painted.
