Forbes, Mrs. Stanhope. Mr. Norman Gastin, in an article upon the work of the Royal Academician, Stanhope Forbes, in the Studio^ July, 1901, pays the following tribute to the wife of the artist, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Armstrong: "Mrs. Stanhope Forbes's work does not ask you for any of that chivalrous gentleness which is in itself so derogatory to the powers of women. As an artist she stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best; she has taste and fancy, without which she could not be an artist. But what strikes one about her most is summed up in the word 'ability.' She is essentially able. The work which that wonderful left hand of hers finds to do, it does with a certainty that makes most other work look tentative beside hers. The gestures and poses she chooses in her models show how little she fears drawing, while the gistness of her criticism has a most solvent effect in dissolving the doubts that hover round the making of pictures."
