'Evariste Carpentier nous oblige à quitter ce coin hivernal du Brabant, pour admirer l’estival et Paisible hameau de Logne ; ceci est une page radieuse, la meilleure qu’ait signé ce maître fécond et divers. En ce site, d’un pittoresque fermement établi, l’ombre transparente des premiers plans s’opposent à l’ardent et léger ensoleillement des fonds. L’observation interprétative est accusée par la vérité des plans, obtenus par la ligne des éléments aussi bien que par les valeurs du coloris et la distribution de la lumière, qui se répète dans l’onde vive d’un ruisseau dont deux vaches suivent le bord. Une impression heureuse se dégage de cette œuvre qu’on peut considérer comme un beau poème pastoral.'
