介绍（中）	1760年，盖恩斯伯勒搬到了英国主要的温泉城市巴斯，在那里他画了这幅精致的粉笔画，为安·福特的真人大小的油画做准备。福特是一位业余歌手和音乐家，他的精彩私人表演席卷了整个小镇，盖恩斯伯勒打算用他的画来树立他的国家声誉。他用柔软的黑色粉笔探索坐姿，并建议佩戴钻石形状的吊坠耳环和深色颈带。手和面部特征被轻轻地指示出来，因为艺术家会在画布上用油画出来。更详细的是精致的丝绸礼服，长蕾丝袖口，紧身胸衣和袖子上系着宽松的缎面蝴蝶结，裙子上装饰着环形缎带和玫瑰花结。Gainsborough在伦敦圣马丁巷学院接受了Hubert Fran ois Gravelot的法语培训，在很小的时候就掌握了粉笔的表达潜力，并在这张成熟的纸上创造了一个流畅的图形网，以时尚女性的抽象可能性为乐。
介绍（英）	In 1760 Gainsborough moved to Bath, England’s leading spa city, where he made this delicate chalk drawing in preparation for a lifesize oil portrait of Ann Ford. Ford was an amateur singer and musician whose bravura private performances were taking the town by storm, and Gainsborough intended his painting to establish his national reputation. He used soft black chalk to explore the seated pose and to suggest diamond-shaped pendant earrings and a dark neck ribbon. Hands and facial features are indicated lightly, since the artist would work these up in oil on the canvas. More detailed are the elaborate silk gown with long lace cuffs, loosely tied satin bows on bodice and sleeves, and skirt decorated with looped ribbons and rosettes. Trained in the French manner by Hubert-Franois Gravelot at St. Martin’s Lane Academy in London, Gainsborough had mastered the expressive potential of chalk at an early age and, in this mature sheet, created a fluid graphic web that delights in the abstract possibilities of the fashionably dressed female form.
