介绍（中）	这只小狗被描绘成真人大小，聚精会神地抬起头来，等待主人的一句话或一次触摸。在18世纪的英国，像马耳他这样的小品种——因其粗糙的皮毛而被称为电击犬——是深受喜爱的伴侣。主人和他们的宠物之间的情感纽带经常以这幅可爱的肖像来纪念 Anne Damer被誉为英国第一位以令人难忘的个人风格描绘动物和人的女雕塑家。达默出身高贵，受过高等教育，她用希腊语为"休克犬"题词，以回忆她的艺术起源。这幅犬类肖像画引人入胜的自然主义证明了她的艺术造诣和同理心。在她去世时，Damer要求与雕塑家的工具和她最喜欢的狗的骨头一起下葬：这是她一生的两种乐趣。
介绍（英）	Portrayed life-size, the small dog attentively looks up and awaits a word or a touch from its master. In eighteenth-century Britain, small breeds like the Maltese -- known as a shock dog for its rough coat -- were beloved companions. The emotional bond between owners and their pets often were commemorated in endearing portraits like this one. Anne Damer was celebrated as Britain’s first woman sculptor who portrayed both animals and people with memorable personal style. Noble-born and highly educated, Damer inscribed the Shock Dog with her name in Greek to recall her art’s classical origins. The engaging naturalism of this canine portrait testifies to her artistic mastery and to her empathy. At her death, Damer asked to be buried with her sculptor’s tools and the bones of her favorite dog: two life-long joys that had sustained her.
