介绍（中）	在这幅画和下面的铭文中，Jean Démosthène Dugourc揭示了设计师的一些工作实践。他向我们展示了一个以大镜子为特征的墙壁立面，并用家具装饰它，他将其简单地称为"4号桌"和"两根5号柱"。这些指示是针对他工作室里的人的，让他们知道在计划的内部中执行和组合哪种类型的作品。尽管这种设计很优雅，但这似乎表明它可能是为Dugourc的低端客户制作的。然而，必须结合他在成功的职业生涯中为之工作的精英赞助人群体来考虑这一假设。鉴于他为几位欧洲君主服务，包括法国国王路易十六和十八、俄罗斯凯瑟琳大帝和西班牙查理四世，可以肯定地得出结论，这个沙龙本来会装饰贵族一位杰出成员的房子。
介绍（英）	In this drawing and the inscription below, Jean Démosthène Dugourc reveals something of the working practice of a designer. He presents us with a wall elevation, characterized by its large mirror, and dresses it with furniture to which he refers rather simply as ‘table no. 4’ and ‘two no. 5 columns’. These instructions were meant for the people in his atelier, to let them know what type of pieces to execute and bring together in the planned interior. Notwithstanding the elegance of this design, this seems to indicate that it was probably made for the lower end of Dugourc’s clientele. This assumption has to be considered however, in relation to the elite group of patrons that he worked for during his successful career. Given the fact that he was in the service of several European monarchs, including the French kings Louis XVI and XVIII, Catherine the Great of Russia and Charles IV of Spain, it is safe to conclude that this Salon would have adorned the house of a prominent member of the aristocracy.
