介绍（中）	这幅水彩被画成"威霍克的纽约"（54.90.109）的吊坠，代表了纽约市的东部面貌，从现在的布鲁克林高地的前"卑尔根山"望向西北偏西，穿过东河。在这两幅水彩画中，艺术家不仅反对这两幅前景的观点和时代，而且在这里引入了即将到来的风暴的崇高效果。前景中一棵脆弱的针叶树与之共振，与配图中落叶树的抒情形式形成对比。在这两种观点中，这位艺术家都给人一种年轻的纽约市的印象，它是一个生长在广阔河岸环境中的持久乌托邦。1823年，约翰·希尔将这两幅水彩画雕刻成一对，当时沃尔和希尔正在合作创作更为著名的"哈德逊河作品集"（1821-1825），这是一系列16幅水彩画，描绘了从萨拉托加斯普林斯附近到纽约市的河流风景如画。
介绍（英）	Painted as the pendant of “New York from Weehawk,” (54.90.109) this watercolor represents the eastern face of New York City from the former “Bergen’s Hill” in what is now Brooklyn Heights, looking west-northwest across the East River. In the two watercolors the artist not only opposed the points of view and the times of day of the two prospects but also introduced here the sublime effect of a departing storm. Consonant with it, a brittle conifer tree in the foreground serves as a counterpoint to the lyrical form of the deciduous tree in the companion picture. In both views, the artist projects an impression of youthful New York City as an abiding Utopia cradled in a vast riparian environment. Both watercolors were engraved as a pair by John Hill in 1823, just as Wall and Hill were collaborating on the better-known “Hudson River Portfolio” (1821–1825), a series of sixteen aquatints of picturesque views of the river from near Saratoga Springs to New York City.
