"Simon and Iphigenia" - painted by F. Underhill - from the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1856. Engraving of a painting. 'Mr. Underhill has selected a rustic subject, and called it by the quaint and not inappropriate title of "Simon and Iphigenia". The story is simple enough and unmistakable enough. The execution is careful, and the colour throughout rich and in good keeping. It is in every respect a bit of rustic life upon canvas that will find and retain admirers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
