William Waters writes perceptively, "Something of the gaucheries of 14th century drawing has been deliberately caught.... In a deft combination of Pre-Raphaelite angularity he has pleasantly reflected the shape of the containing light" (88). Compare this with The Three Magi in a three-light window in the south wall of St Michael, Cornhill, London. These two compositions show how Clayton’s style could vary from medieval-inspired designs influenced by the quirky early drawings by members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to his more classical designs influenced by the Aesthetic Movement.
