To be exact, his place in art is between Botticelli and De Maurier.

That is to say, he could not draw as well as De Maurier but better than Boticelli.

In feeling, he resembles both; also in grouping and in his preferences in the matter of subjects.

His "corrobboree" of the Australian wilds reappears in De Maurier's Belgravian ballrooms, with clothes and the smirk of civilization added; Botticelli's "Spring" is the "corrobboree" further idealized, but with fewer clothes and more smirk.
And well enough as to intention, but--my word! The aboriginal can make a fire by friction.

I have tried that.
All savages are able to stand a good deal of physical pain.
