Cristall exhibited several classical and biblical subjects at the Society of Painters in Water-Colours exhibitions, and this drawing is characteristic of such compositions. Because they were in watercolour, such works by Cristall have sometimes been wrongly overlooked in comparison with history pictures in oils, although they in fact display the seriousness, monumentality and dignity of his style and composition, and are often more appealing than their larger siblings..
