Sullivan was possessed of a dark and brooding sensibility best seen in The Kaiser's Garland, as agressive and malevolent as Raemekers but much better drawn. Often Sullivan's talent was concealed in a welter of eighteenth century sensibility, a surfeit of the Vicar of Wakefield. This made his outlines flabby and structures feeble. A predisposition to wispy calligraphy also marks his worst work.
