介绍（中）	约翰·保罗·琼斯（John Paul Jones）是美国独立战争中苏格兰出生的英雄，因其对强大的英国海军的跨海峡功绩而在法国受到赞誉。1780年，胡登受新苏尔斯（Loge des Neuf Soeurs）的委托制作琼斯的半身像，这是以缪斯命名的巴黎共济会小屋，两人都属于该小屋（他也刚刚制作了另外两名洛奇成员富兰克林[72.6]和伏尔泰[1972.61]的半身像）。与许多似乎在与他们的直接同伴互动的霍顿拍摄对象不同，琼斯的眉头和眯起的目光给人的印象就像一个海员在评估遥远地平线上的一些威胁。英俊但喜怒无常的琼斯的肖像，穿着他的海军制服，自然的头发紧紧地梳在后面并扎在一起，这引起了保姆的赞赏，他为他的朋友和同事订购了许多石膏副本。该作品于1781年在沙龙首次以赤土色石膏展出，是Houdon肖像画中最常复制的作品之一。许多二十世纪的铸件都是由源自Houdon工作室的例子制成的，在这种情况下，是琼斯于1788年送给威廉·欧文少将的宾夕法尼亚美术学院的石膏。
介绍（英）	John Paul Jones, the Scottish-born hero of the American War of Independence, was celebrated in France for his cross-channel exploits against the powerful British navy. In 1780, Houdon was commissioned to make Jones's bust by the Loge des Neuf Soeurs, the Parisian Masonic lodge named after the Muses, to which both men belonged (he had also just produced the busts of two other Lodge members, Franklin [72.6] and Voltaire [1972.61]). Unlike so many of Houdon's subjects, who appear to be interacting with their immediate company, Jones's knitted brow and narrowed gaze give the impression of a seaman appraising some threat on the distant horizon. The likeness of the handsome but temperamental Jones, shown in his naval uniform with his natural hair brushed tightly back and tied, was much appreciated by the sitter, who ordered numerous plaster copies for his friends and associates. First exhibited at the Salon of 1781 in terracotta-colored plaster, the composition was one of the most frequently replicated of Houdon's portraits. Numerous twentieth-century casts were made from examples that originated in Houdon's studio, in this case, the plaster in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts which Jones had given to Major General William Irvine in 1788.
