Whereas J.D. Fergusson liked to capture the hustle and bustle of Parisian cafés, Maclauchlan Milne's café scenes of the South of France are rather sleepy and quiet. The emphasis is on the sunlight and shadows creating a relaxed mood.
His style is never cramped. One is seldom left with the impression that he had to struggle to make things right'They are reposeful, and they have just that little touch of elusiveness to keep one's imagination alert. (T. J. Honeyman)
