介绍（中）	吉福德是哈德逊河画派中唯一一位真正在纽约卡茨基尔地区长大的主要画家，该画派的创始人托马斯·科尔（Thomas Cole）因此而闻名。他不像大多数艺术家在早期描绘风景时那样专注于中心山或瀑布，吉福德选择从卡茨基尔山脉东部的Kauterskill（Kaaterskill）三叶草上观看光线和大气。其结果是从崇高到沉思的转变。一名猎人和他的狗爬上左边的岩石，在前往俯瞰峡谷的平台时与地形融为一体，峡谷被印度夏季的雾霾打磨得闪闪发光。从1845年到1880年去世，吉福德选择了卡茨基尔山脉的考特斯基尔三叶草作为他最喜欢的科目之一。这幅画创作于1862年，在1876年纽约百年贷款绘画展的目录中，以及1881年吉福德作品的官方目录中，都被称为"考特斯基尔瀑布"。此后，标题被改为"Kauterskill Clove"，因为从东边可以看到丁香头上的海恩瀑布。
介绍（英）	Gifford was the only major Hudson River School painter to have actually grown up in the Catskills region of New York made famous by Thomas Cole, the school’s founding figure. Rather than focusing on a central mountain or waterfall, as had most artists in earlier depictions of the landscape, Gifford chose to feature light and atmosphere as viewed from Kauterskill (Kaaterskill) Clove in the eastern Catskill Mountains. The result is a shift from the sublime to the meditative. A hunter and his dog climb the rocks at the left, merging with the terrain as they make their way to the platform overlooking the ravine, which is burnished by an Indian summer haze. From 1845 until his death in 1880, Gifford chose Kauterskill Clove in the Catskill Mountains as one of his favorite subjects. This painting, dated 1862, was called "Kauterskill Falls" in the catalogue of the 1876 New York Centennial Loan Exhibition of Paintings, as well as in the 1881 official catalogue of Gifford's work. The title has since been changed to "Kauterskill Clove," for the view is from the east, looking west to Haine's Falls at the head of the clove.
