Two sleeping Christian martyrs waiting to be devoured by wild beasts, seen behind bars on the left
| “ | "Two Christian maidens, nude, one fair the other a negress, lying asleep on some straw on the pavement before a lion's cage, through the bars of which the animals are glaring at the figures" | ” |
—Academy Notes from the Royal Academy of Arts, 1891 | ||
| “ | "Victory of Faith" represents two converts to Christianity - a Caucasian and Ethiopian, mistress and maid - asleep on their dungeon bed of straw, and is masterful in design, whilst contrast is effected by opposites without any resort to glaring or overpowering leading lights." | ” |
