介绍（中）	约翰逊对风景画家吉福德的敏感描绘，他在第十街工作室大楼的朋友和邻居，以前在曼哈顿下城，在吉福德去世的那一年被处决。它最初由吉福德的遗孀拥有，后来遗赠给吉福德最狂热的赞助人之一理查德巴特勒，他立即将其捐赠给了大都会博物馆。两人都是博物馆的创始人，该博物馆于1881年为吉福德举办了该机构有史以来的第一次专题展览。约翰逊对艺术家的温暖、沉思的描述很可能是死后;保姆面容上平静的自我凝视但淡淡的忧郁休息，由于明暗划分的强烈模糊性而进一步复杂化，似乎说明了他的另一个密友所感知的情感冲突，并在给艺术家的悼词中透露："他的性格......是宁静而平静的，依靠自己内心的资源。表面的平静表明了流淌在其中的溪流的深度，其洪水和漩涡以及漩涡经常将他从光线中捕捉到并带他进入阴凉的洞穴深处。
介绍（英）	Johnson's sensitive portrayal of the landscape painter Gifford, his friend and neighbor in the Tenth Street Studio Building, formerly in lower Manhattan, was executed in the year of Gifford's death. Originally owned by Gifford's widow, it was bequeathed to Richard Butler, one of Gifford's most avid patrons, who instantly donated it to the Metropolitan Museum. Both men were founders of the Museum, which in 1881 accorded Gifford the first monographic show ever mounted by the institution. Johnson's warm, ruminative characterization of the artist may well be posthumous; the quiet self-possessed stare yet faintly melancholic repose of the sitter's visage are further complicated by the strong ambiguity of light and dark dividing it, seeming to illustrate emotional conflicts perceived by another of his close friends and revealed in a eulogy to the artist: "His character ... was serene and placid, resting on resources within himself. That placidity of the surface was an indication of the depth of the stream that flowed within, whose floods, and swirls, and eddies often caught him from the light and carried him into cavernous depths of shade."
