Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, 1916, Vol. 22
The attitude and expression of the woman mark the character of the religious enthusiast and mystic. In fact, Mr. Dallin has made of her a type of the seventeenth century religious insurgent, not quite a fanatic, but of the stuff of which martyrs are fashioned. Softening this historic side of her character, and adding a touch of the more sym pathetic human element, the introduction of the child at her side, with her gentle and wondering gaze, which seems to question the unknown future, and her charming gesture of dependence, as she grasps her mother's skirt with cns hand, affords the needed and complementary element of intimacy and affection. As a matter of plastic composition the group thus formed is far more interesting and convincing than the single figure of the mother would have been without the subsidiary figure of the child.
