Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours: "Boy Trimming a Hedge" - G. Clausen, 1890. Engraving of a painting. 'We referred last week to the claims of several works to especial notice, and we are glad, therefore, to bring some of the more important more distinctly before our readers... Mr. Geo. Clausen paints with a broader and more vigorous brush, and there is something like a whiff of the keen winter's wind in the eagerness of the "Boy Trimming a Hedge." Mr. Clausen makes no concession to the beautiful in dealing with peasant lads and lasses, following somewhat in the foot-steps of M. Bastien-Lepage, though without "the ferocity" of the accomplished French artist. In the present little study, the bare hedgerow, the brownish-grey ploughed held, accord with the hedger's rough dress and still rougher action; and, although we miss in the composition that peculiar touch which Professor Legros has thrown into similar studies, it has a power of its own which places it among the successful works of the present exhibition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
