介绍（中）	1762年9月，科普利要求瑞士粉彩家Jean-Étienne Liotard送上"一套最好的蜡笔，比如你可以推荐的那种鲜艳的色彩和恰到好处的色调。总之，让它们成为最好的一套。"科普利擅长粉彩，这是一种极其困难的媒介。他认识到了自己的技巧，并写信给同事本杰明·韦斯特说，他认为"我画的最好的肖像就是这样的。"这幅波士顿商人埃比尼泽·斯托勒的肖像体现了科普利在媒体上所获得的技术和艺术技巧。他充分利用了粉彩带来的光彩，将Storer的锦缎榕树渲染成了浓郁的绿色色调，不仅传达了织物的花卉图案，还传达了其重量和光泽。科普利还捕捉到了柔软的天鹅绒头巾，斯托尔光滑的前额，以及他剃光的鬓角和脸颊上的胡茬。
介绍（英）	In September 1762, Copley asked the Swiss pastelist Jean-Étienne Liotard to send “a sett of Crayons of the very best kind such as You can recommend [for] liveliness of colour and Justness of tints. In a word let em be a sett of the very best that can be got.” Copley excelled in pastel, an extremely difficult medium. He recognized his own skill and wrote to his colleague Benjamin West that he thought “my best portraits done [are] in that way.” This portrait of the Boston merchant Ebenezer Storer exemplifies the technical and artistic skill that Copley achieved in the medium. Taking full advantage of the brilliance afforded by pastel, he rendered Storer’s damask banyan in rich tones of green that convey not only the fabric’s floral pattern but also its weight and sheen. Copley also captured the soft pile of the velvet turban, the smoothness of Storer’s forehead, and the stubble of his shaved sideburns and cheeks.
