介绍（中）	圣高登斯和萨金特杰出的职业生涯是沿着平行的轨道发展的。两人都天赋异禀，他们于1877年或1878年在巴黎相遇，当时圣高登斯正在创作他的法拉格特纪念碑，萨金特（1856-1925）在卡洛斯·杜兰的独立工作室学习，并在巴黎沙龙展出了他的社会肖像和流派场景。雕塑家和画家在同一个国际大都会圈子里旅行，不仅有朋友，还有赞助人。圣高登斯为萨金特为波士顿公共图书馆（1890-1916）创作的伟大壁画周期提供雕塑元素方面的建议，1886年，萨金特搬到伦敦，萨金特·高登斯也向他的英国同事和潜在客户介绍了圣高登斯这是圣高登斯的第一枚奖牌，是他在巴黎任职期间完成的友谊肖像中最小的一枚。他的朋友长得很像，这既是事实，也是令人印象深刻的。纹理粗糙的田野上的铭文BRVTTO RITRATTO难以准确解读。从字面上看，它的意思是"粗糙的肖像"，这可能意味着雕塑家正在为草率的处决道歉，但"bruto"也可能指萨金特有力而充满活力的人，以讽刺的微型尺度拍摄，也可能是指古罗马硬币，其表面不规则，侧面有肖像半身像<该奖章由1910年至1931年博物馆馆长爱德华·罗宾逊的妻子授予大都会博物馆。罗宾逊一家是萨金特的密友，他们帮助大都会博物馆获得了萨金特许多油画和纸上作品，通常是直接从萨金特那里获得的。
介绍（英）	Saint-Gaudens’s and Sargent’s remarkable careers developed along parallel tracks. Both prodigiously gifted, they met in Paris in 1877 or 1878 while Saint-Gaudens was at work on his Farragut Monument and Sargent (1856-1925) was studying in the independent atelier of Carolus-Duran and enjoying early success exhibiting his society portraits and genre scenes in the Paris Salons. Sculptor and painter traveled in the same international cosmopolitan circles, sharing not only friends but also patrons. Saint-Gaudens advised Sargent on sculptural elements for his great mural cycle for the Boston Public Library (1890-1916), and he moved to London in 1886 Sargent reciprocated by introducing Saint-Gaudens to his British colleagues and prospective clients. This medal, Saint-Gaudens’s first, is the smallest of the friendship portraits completed during his Paris tenure. The likeness of his friend is both matter-of-fact and piercing. The inscription on the grainy-textured field, BRVTTO RITRATTO, defies exact interpretation. Literally it means "crude portrait," which might imply that the sculptor was apologizing for the hasty execution, but "brutto" may also refer to Sargent’s forceful and vigorous person, captured on an ironic miniature scale, or it may be an allusion to ancient Roman coins, with their irregular surfaces and profile portrait busts. The medal was given to the Metropolitan by the wife of Edward Robinson, director of the Museum from 1910 to 1931. The Robinsons were close friends of Sargent’s, and they helped the Metropolitan acquire a number of his oils and works on paper, often directly from him.
