Ruskin's revision to the Rudimentary series (1878)
112.Of so great an artist I willingly multiply examples, but the treatment of the patterned drapery in this one completes our series by demonstrating the care taken even in his most rapid execution. Most of the leaves and flowers on this damask are drawn with a single sweep of his pencil, but always with instantaneous grace.
