介绍（中）	这项研究可能可以追溯到1640-50年代，用红色和非常浓密的黑色粉笔进行，这项研究充满活力，相对完成，描绘了一位殉道的执事圣人的形象，他要么是圣斯蒂芬，要么是圣劳伦斯。这可能是为了拍摄一幅半身的虔诚的画面。佛罗伦萨Confortini是巴洛克时期佛罗伦萨艺术家经常使用的两种粉笔技术（红色和黑色）的伟大绘图大师之一与这个例子一样，Confortini的绘画展现了令人眼花缭乱的运动品质，有着紧张的轮廓和断断续续的孵化技巧。大都会艺术博物馆（Metropolitan Museum of Art）拥有另一幅由Confortini大胆绘制的执事圣人画像（半身神职人员画像），其比例和构图与目前的图纸非常相似。由于服装的某些重要细节是相同的，这两幅图纸很可能是对同一幅画的研究，它们共同代表了Confortini的绘图和设计过程（C.C.B.）
介绍（英）	Probably dating to the 1640-50s, this spirited, relatively finished study in red and very dense black chalk depicts the figure of a martyred deacon saint, who is either Saint Stephen or Saint Lawrence. It was probably intended for a devotional picture in half-length. The Florentine Confortini is one of the great virtuoso draftsmen of the two-chalk technique (red and black), which was frequently used by Florentine artists during the Baroque period. As with this example, Confortini's drawings exhibit a dazzling quality of movement, with nervous outlines and a staccato technique of hatching. The Metropolitan Museum of Art owns another boldly drawn figural sketch of a deacon saint by Confortini (Figure of a Cleric in Half-Length) with very similar scale and composition as the present sheet. Since certain important details of dress are identical, both drawings likely served as studies for the same painting, and together they represent the range of Confortini's draftsmanship and design process.
