介绍（中）	瓦图出生于法国北部城市瓦朗西讷，他走了一条迂回的道路，从复制者到皇家雕塑院（Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture）的成员，1717年，他的《圣餐》（morceau de réception）被批准为新创建的"圣餐"（fêtes galantes）类别。这个词所指的神秘场景围绕着想象中的公园景观中的爱情和调情主题。穿着当代或戏剧服装的优雅人物并不是为了符合明确的叙述而摆姿势或摆姿势，而是基于生活中的个人研究，这些研究充斥着他的素描本 Watteau的画作因其在页面上的失误而备受赞赏，通常将单独的研究结合在一起，如图所示，从上方看，对女性双手的研究置于对头部的倾斜研究之下。在红色粉笔和银灰色石墨的绘画混合中，Watteau捕捉到了保姆的自然举止，吸引了人们对优雅细节的注意，例如她的颧骨、垂坠耳环和精致的项链。尽管他生前与少数人分手，但由于他的朋友让·德·朱利恩（Jean de Jullenne）在其画作《不同的人物》（Figures de différents caractères，1726–28）的标题下出版蚀刻画，瓦托的粉笔画在他死后变得广为人知。
介绍（英）	Born in the northern French city of Valenciennes, Watteau followed a circuitous route from copyist to member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, where his morceau de réception was approved in 1717 in the newly created category of fêtes galantes. The enigmatic scenes to which this term referred centered around themes of love and dalliance set in imaginary park landscapes. Elegant figures in contemporary or theatrical dress were not posed or placed to conform to explicit narratives, but rather were based on the individual studies made from life that filled his sketchbooks. Admired for their mise-en-page, Watteau's drawings often combine separate studies, as seen here, where a study of a woman’s hands is set below an oblique study of a her head, seen from above. In a painterly mix of red chalk and silvery-gray graphite, Watteau captures his sitter's natural comportment, drawing attention to elegant details, such as her cheekbone, her drop earring, and her delicate necklace. Although he parted with few in his lifetime, Watteau's chalk drawings became well-known after his death thanks to his friend Jean de Jullienne's project of publishing etchings after his drawings under the title, Figures de différents caractères (1726–28).
