介绍（中）	旧坐骑背面的18世纪英文铭文正确地将这幅画识别为Giovanni de‘Vecchi最重要的委托之一的研究，即圣彼得教堂穹顶下两幅马赛克垂饰的漫画。正如传记作家乔瓦尼·巴格里奥内（Giovanni Baglione）在1642年所记载的那样（"Nella gran Basilica Vaticana il cartoni delli due Vangelisti di musaico Giovani，e Luca sono forme ampicche del suo ingegno"），为福音派圣约翰（Saint John the Evangelist）和圣路克（Saint Luke）的人物画的巨型奖章由德韦奇（de‘Vecchi）提供，而圣马修和圣马可的雕像则由塞萨·内比亚设计。德韦奇和内比亚在1598年至1599年期间制作了漫画，而马赛克的实际工作从1599年末开始，一直持续到1601年初。Giovanni de‘Vecchi的研究用钢笔和棕色墨水在黑色粉笔上生动地画出，并用白色水粉粉广泛地突出显示，与圣彼得大教堂的马赛克相当接近，尽管在圣彼得大教堂中，福音派向下看，而不是凝视右上角。
介绍（英）	An eighteenth-century English inscription on the back of the old mount correctly identifies this drawing as a study for one of Giovanni de' Vecchi's most important commissions, the cartoons for two of the mosaic pendentives under dome in Saint Peter's. As recorded in 1642 by the biographer Giovanni Baglione ("Nella gran Basilica Vaticana il cartoni delli due Vangelisti di musaico Giovanni, e Luca sono forme magnifiche del suo ingegno") cartoons for the figures of Saint John the Evangelist and Saint Luke in colossal medallions were supplied by de' Vecchi, while those for the figures of Saint Matthew and Saint Mark were designed by Cesare Nebbia. De’ Vecchi and Nebbia prepared the cartoons between 1598 and 1599, and actual work on the mosaics began in late 1599 and continued through early 1601. Vibrantly drawn in pen and brown ink over black chalk, and extensively highlighted with white gouache, Giovanni de' Vecchi's study corresponds fairly closely to the mosaic in St. Peter’s, though in the latter the Evangelist looks down rather than gazing to upper right.
