Through his remark in (25) above, the husband may evaluate the painting with respect to some more generally shared aesthetic standard rather than to his own. This doesn't seem right at all to me. 'Through his remark' suggests 'by means of his remark'. In other words, 'His remark may help him to evaluate . . '.
