介绍（中）	蔡斯是一位完美的折衷主义者，他自由地借鉴了弗朗斯·哈尔斯、伦勃朗·范·莱因和迭戈·委拉斯开兹等古典大师，以及爱德华·马奈、詹姆斯·麦克尼尔·惠斯勒和约翰·辛格·萨金特等同时代人。在这里，他在画作的标题中提到了传统，但展示了一个穿着现代服装的女人。从后面看到她，在一个黑暗、模棱两可的环境中，被一缕光线刺穿，暗示着一扇略微打开的门。蔡斯对模特的特殊身份不感兴趣，他用富有表现力的笔触和微妙的白色色调来描述她的礼服。蔡斯为他的妻子画了一幅名为《白衣夫人》（1894年;私人收藏）的全身肖像，当它出现在宾夕法尼亚美术学院时，一位评论家观察到："这只不过是对深色背景下的白色缎面连衣裙的研究，因为她的脸从观众那里转过身来。这幅画也是如此。
介绍（英）	A consummate eclectic, Chase borrowed freely from old masters such as Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Diego Velázquez, and from contemporaries such as Édouard Manet, James McNeill Whistler, and John Singer Sargent. Here, he refers in the title of his painting to tradition, but shows a woman dressed in modern attire. She is seen from behind in a dark, ambiguous setting that is pierced by a sliver of light that suggests a slightly opened door. Uninterested in his model's particular identity, Chase calls attention to her gown, which he describes with expressive brushwork and subtle tones of white. Chase had painted a full-length portrait of his wife entitled Lady in White (1894; private collection), of which a critic observed when it appeared at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts: "It is little more than a study of a white satin dress against a dark background, for her face is turned from the spectator." The same could be said for this painting.
