Bridget's feedback:

"This essay has many strengths, including demonstrated control of the subject matter, a logical structure and organization that guides the reader through the presentation, and a clear writing style. A few tasks remain before any final submission: make sure to properly format titles of paintings (using italics), bring your line spacing and paragraph setup into alignment with your style guide, and place punctuation after the parenthetical citations, which should likewise be checked against your style guide resource. (A confluence of the title formatting and quotation punctuation causes clarity issues in para. 6.) Use signal phrases or similar to ease your readers into the quotations, as they are currently plopped down in the writing, missing an opportunity to demonstrate your control over the material. As a final note, the introduction is a little choppy in terms of flow; this isn't a problem elsewhere so bring those skills to bear on the opening to make sure you start with a good impression."
