介绍（中）	南北战争将领威廉·特库姆塞·谢尔曼（William Tecumseh Sherman，1830-1891年），受到联邦的尊敬和邦联的诋毁，被认为是一位才华横溢的战术家，也是美国陆军的长期指挥官。1864年，在他胜利而具有破坏性的"向大海进军"期间，他在24天内将他的部队转移到格鲁吉亚300英里的地方。他于1884年退出现役，两年后搬到纽约，经常坐在那里拍摄肖像根据圣高登斯（Saint-Gaudens）的说法，这尊身着军装的谢尔曼（Sherman）充满活力的自然主义半身像是在18次参观中制作的，每次参观大约持续两个小时。雕刻家描绘的谢尔曼正是他坐在椅子上时的样子，他皱着深深的眉毛，留着短胡子，衣领没有扣。他钢铁般的独立性表现在他在坐着时显然拒绝拉直的歪斜领结上。半身像放在一块刻有他的名字的木块上，上面是一个月桂叶枕头，用丝带绑着，下面是一个更大的底座谢尔曼对这幅肖像的满意，使圣高登斯获得了纽约将军骑马雕像的权威委员会。1892年，谢尔曼去世一年后，该奖项授予了他。圣高登斯（Saint Gaudens）将这尊半身像的石膏版作为舍曼在纪念碑上的肖像的基础，该纪念碑于1903年在曼哈顿第五大道和第五十九街的陆军广场揭幕，至今仍保留在那里。
介绍（英）	Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman (1830-1891), venerated by the Union and vilified by the Confederacy, is remembered as a brilliant, if controversial tactician, and longtime commanding officer of the United States Army. During his triumphant—and destructive—"March to the Sea," in 1864, he moved his troops three hundred miles across Georgia in twenty-four days. He retired from active duty in 1884 and relocated two years later to New York, where he frequently sat for portraits. According to Saint-Gaudens, this vigorously naturalistic bust of Sherman in military uniform was modeled during eighteen visits, each lasting about two hours. The sculptor depicted Sherman exactly as he appeared during the sittings—with his deeply creased brow, stubbly beard, and unbuttoned collar. His steely independent streak is represented by the askew bowtie that he apparently refused to straighten during the sittings. The bust rests on a block inscribed with his name that itself surmounts a pillow of laurel leaves, bound by a ribbon, with a larger plinth below. Sherman’s satisfaction with the portrait assured Saint-Gaudens the prestigious commission for an equestrian statue of the general in New York. It was awarded to him in 1892, a year after Sherman’s death. Saint-Gaudens used the plaster version of this bust as the basis for Sherman’s portrait on the monument, unveiled in 1903 in Manhattan’s Grand Army Plaza, at Fifth Avenue and Fifty-ninth Street, where it remains today.
