介绍（中）	克拉丽莎·彼得斯·拉塞尔于1836年至1854年间在波士顿绘制了微缩模型。作为一位高产的艺术家，她的肖像画经常被误认为是因为她偶尔会和丈夫一起工作，丈夫也是一位微型艺术家，并且经常在作品上署名，也许是为了发展家族企业而不是独立事业。在这里，她的手是明确无误的：婴儿复杂的长袍、细致的珊瑚珠项链、有条纹的前景，以及用象牙作为孩子头部的光环，充分展示了她的精致技术。婴儿坐在一个装饰华丽的流苏枕头上，枕上有一根带有爬藤和帷幔的凹槽柱。这位艺术家培养了一种特殊的专业知识，并为她塑造的妇女和儿童肖像画赢得了忠实的追随者，其中许多都是纪念物。这只婴儿和顽皮的小狗玩珊瑚拨浪鼓，非常活泼，这使这只微型动物成为她作品中罕见的、充满活力的例子。
介绍（英）	Clarissa Peters Russell painted miniatures in Boston between 1836 and 1854. A highly productive artist, her portraits have often been misattributed because she occasionally worked with her husband, also a miniaturist, and often signed his name to her works, perhaps in the interest of developing the family business rather than an independent career. Here her hand is unmistakable: the baby's intricate gown, meticulous beaded coral necklace, striated foreground, and use of the ivory as a halo for the child's head display her delicate technique at its fullest. The infant is enthroned on an ornate tasseled pillow by a fluted column with climbing vines and drapery. The artist developed a particular expertise and a devoted following for her likenesses of women and children, many of which were memorials. This baby and the mischievous dog that plays with the coral rattle are very much alive, making this miniature a rare, exuberant example of her work.
