介绍（中）	个人肖像画的流行，最终源于纪念希腊和罗马共和国名人的古典奖章，在美国联邦时期蓬勃发展。1794年，英国画家和粉彩画家詹姆斯·夏普斯在美国开创了自己的职业生涯，他请当地和国家政治家坐下来查看个人资料，然后引诱他们委托制作一幅或多幅完整的肖像画。也许除了一些例外，夏普尔斯聘请了一位相貌专家来记录准确的个人资料，然后将原始肖像保留下来作为他的个人收藏，这是一个他可以反复复制出售的图像库。Sharples对外交官Albert Gallatin的描述可能是一个在其漫长而著名的职业生涯中多次被描绘的人的最早肖像；大约1796年，加拉廷担任夏普尔斯议员时，他是美国众议院议员，在那里他连任了三届。
介绍（英）	The popularity of profile portraits, which ultimately derived from classical medallions honoring famous men of the republics of Greece and Rome, burgeoned during America’s Federal period. The English painter and pastelist James Sharples established a career in America in 1794 by asking local and national politicians to sit for profiles and then enticing them into commissioning one or more copies of the completed portraits. Perhaps with some exceptions, Sharples employed a physiognotrace to record an exact profile and then retained the original portrait for his personal collection, a library of images that he could copy for sale over and over again. Sharples’s profile of the diplomat Albert Gallatin is perhaps the earliest likeness of a man who would be portrayed many times during the course of his long and prestigious career; when he sat for Sharples in about 1796, Gallatin was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, where he remained for three terms.
