介绍（中）	麦肯蒂在他的整个职业生涯中一直忠于哈德逊河学派的线性技术，即使美国风景画被乔治·因尼斯及其追随者的主观表达所主导。他更喜欢用铅笔画出带有淡淡的白色水粉画，就像这里一样，用斑点和过滤的阳光穿透森林，突出树干，缓解它们的形状。像大多数哈德逊河学派的艺术家一样，麦肯蒂被白桦树苍白柔顺的特征所吸引，白桦树可以在风景画的前景中发挥如此明显的作用。铭文中提到的"干溪"指的是卡茨基尔南部特拉华河上游东支的一条支流，麦肯蒂在1872年之后经常到访。
介绍（英）	McEntee remained loyal to the linear technique of the Hudson River School throughout his career, even when American landscape painting became dominated by the subjective expression of George Inness and his followers. He preferred to execute his drawings in pencil with touches of white gouache to suggest, as here, dappled and filtered sunlight penetrating the forest cover to highlight the tree trunks and relieve their forms. Like most Hudson River School artists, McEntee was attracted to the pale and pliant character of the white birch, which could be exploited to such telling effect in the foreground of landscape paintings The “Dry Brook” mentioned in the inscription refers either to a tributary of the east branch of the upper Delaware River in the southern Catskills or to a section of the town of Hardenburgh, which McEntee visited frequently after 1872.
