介绍（中）	约翰·辛格尔顿·科普利（John Singleton Copley）在1774年离开美国前往英国之前至少创作了五十五幅柔和的肖像，这对于一位殖民画家来说，这是一个罕见的成就，这种媒介是如此昂贵，罕见和艰苦。愿意将油画以外的效果图托付给科普利的客户包括波士顿的斯托尔家族。1767年，科普利为埃比尼泽和玛丽·斯托勒、他们的女儿玛丽（爱德华·格林夫人）和他们的儿子小埃比尼泽和他的妻子伊丽莎白画了肖像。所有五幅肖像现在都在博物馆。科普利充分利用了柔和蜡笔的光彩，重现了埃比尼泽·斯托尔（Ebenezer Storer）的真丝锦缎榕树，天鹅绒头巾的柔软绒毛，以及鬓角和脸颊上的胡茬。他从伟大的瑞士大师让-艾蒂安·利奥塔尔（Jean-étienne Liotard）那里订购了全套蜡笔，但从未见过这种媒介的作品，这使他的成就更加惊人。
介绍（英）	John Singleton Copley produced at least fifty-five pastel portraits before he left America for England in 1774, a rare achievement for a colonial painter in such a costly, rare, and painstaking medium. Among the clients willing to trust Copley with renderings other than in oil was the Storer family of Boston. In 1767, Copley drew portraits of Ebenezer and Mary Storer, their daughter, Mary (Mrs. Edward Green), and their son, Ebenezer Jr., and his wife, Elizabeth. All five portraits are now in the Museum. Copley took full advantage of the brilliance afforded by pastel crayons to re-create Ebenezer Storer's figured silk damask banyan, the soft pile of his velvet turban, and the stubble on his sideburns and cheeks. He had ordered a full array of the crayons from the great Swiss master Jean-étienne Liotard, but had never seen a work in the medium, making his accomplishment all the more astonishing.
