介绍（中）	出生于布鲁克林的乔治·杜蓬·普拉特（George Dupont Pratt）成为著名的慈善家、收藏家和大都会博物馆的受托人，为该机构留下了几幅英国画。在这部作品中，这位年轻的受试者的蓝色夹克表明他是英国皇家海军的一名水手，这是一艘遥远的船，预示着他即将离开家乡。唐曼作为摄政时代肖像画家的成功，源于他设计的一种技术，将粉笔和水彩结合在一起，使他能够捕捉吸引人的肖像，并在需要时复制这些肖像。他从　王室和贵族，但正是他为中产阶级赞助人绘制的众多画作，促使当代人越来越喜欢亲密的家庭规模　肖像画。唐曼出生于威尔士，曾在利物浦和伦敦学习，去过意大利，然后在剑桥、普利茅斯、切斯特和雷克瑟姆工作。
介绍（英）	Brooklyn-born George Dupont Pratt became a noted philanthropist, collector, and Met trustee, leaving the institution several British drawings. In this work, the young subject’s blue jacket identifies him as a sailor in the Royal Navy, a distant ship signaling his imminent departure from home. Downman’s success as a Regency-era portraitist resulted from a technique he devised that combined chalks and watercolor, enabling him to capture appealing likenesses and make multiple copies of these portraits if required. He received commissions from the　royal family and nobility, but it was his many drawings for middle-class patrons that encouraged a growing contemporary taste for intimate, domestic-scale　portraiture. Born in Wales, Downman studied in Liverpool and London, traveled to Italy, and then worked in Cambridge, Plymouth, Chester, and Wrexham.
