介绍（中）	汉密尔顿属于一群在都柏林社会绘画学校接受训练的杰出粉彩学家，该学校由罗伯特·韦斯特（约1720年至1790年）和詹姆斯·曼宁（1746年至79年在位）管理。这位艺术家于1764年左右搬到伦敦，在伦敦时尚西区的Pall购物中心工作。他的赞助人包括王室成员和诺森伯兰公爵等贵族，他的成功体现在他通常为一个小粉彩收取9基尼的费用。1779年，汉密尔顿移居意大利，采用了新古典主义风格，因此本作品代表了他的英国职业生涯。这是对一个四五岁男孩的迷人描绘，他是肯特郡Hythe议员的儿子，因此是社会上的重要人物。轻松的姿势和蓬乱的头发突显了保姆的年轻，这一概念反映了一种新时尚的"自然"育儿方式。这只西班牙猎犬的头部姿态表明了伊芙琳和他的宠物之间的亲密关系，汉密尔顿在这幅小画像中出色而谦逊地捕捉到了自由的新情绪，这得益于柔和的媒介，使他能够快速工作。
介绍（英）	Hamilton belonged to a group of accomplished pastellists trained at the Dublin Society School of Drawing, run by Robert West (ca. 1720–1790) and James Mannin (active 1746–79). The artist moved to London around 1764 and worked from a Pall Mall address in London’s fashionable West End. His patrons included members of the royal family and grandees such as the Duke of Northumberland, with his success indicated by the fact that he typically charged nine guineas for a small pastel. In 1779 Hamilton moved to Italy and adopted a neo-classical style, so the present work represents his English career. It is a charming depiction of a boy aged four or five, the son of a Member of Parliament for Hythe in Kent, and thus a substantial figure in society. The sitter's youth is emphasized by the easy pose and tousled hair, a conception that reflects a newly fashionable “natural” approach to child-rearing. The attitude of the spaniel’s head indicates an affectionate intimacy between Evelyn and his pet, and Hamilton brilliantly and unassumingly captured the new mood of freedom in this small portrait, aided by the medium of pastel that allowed him to work at speed.
