介绍（中）	这些配套的手镯由14克拉的黄金制成，末端有刻有花朵的宽链环。扣上镶嵌着由美国艺术家约翰·卡林绘制的两位年轻女性（可能是姐妹）的象牙肖像微缩模型。每个扣子的反面都是一个小锁，在水晶脸下夹着保姆的辫子。其中一个微型画描绘了一位深色头发的年轻女子，她的头顶上有一个中央部分，头发顺滑地梳着，卷发垂到肩膀上。她被描绘成头和脖子的形式，转向适当的左边，背景经过调制，模拟云层。这幅肖像的背面刻着首字母"MLP"和日期"1840"。第二幅肖像画的是一位深色头发的年轻女子，头发顺时针梳在头顶上，中间部分披在耳朵前面，向后拉。和她的姐姐一样，她被描绘成头和脖子的形式，并以类似的云背景。这幅肖像的背面刻有首字母"CAP"和日期"1840年7月"。这些保姆的身份仍然未知约翰·卡林，聋哑人，出生于费城，毕业于宾夕法尼亚聋哑人学院。在学校里，他证明了自己是一位才华横溢的画家。他继续师从费城的约翰·鲁本·史密斯和约翰·尼格尔，然后前往巴黎师从学术大师保罗·德拉罗什。回到美国后，卡林定居在纽约，成为该市最受欢迎的微型画家之一。卡林还是一位风格和风景画家、作家和诗人。
介绍（英）	These matching bracelets are made of 14-karat yellow gold and have wide chain-link bands engraved with flowers at the terminals. The clasps are set with portrait miniatures on ivory of two young women, presumably sisters, painted by American artist John Carlin. The reverse of each clasp is a locket, which holds a braid of the sitter’s hair beneath a crystal face. One miniature depicts a young woman with dark hair, smoothly coifed across the crown of her head with a center part and falling in ringlets to her shoulders. She is portrayed in a head and neck format, turned to the proper left, with a modulated background simulating clouds. The reverse of this portrait is engraved with the initials "MLP" and the date "1840." The second portrait shows a young woman with dark hair smoothly coifed across the crown of her head with a center part draped in front of her ears and pulled back. Like her sister, she is portrayed in head and neck format, and in a similar cloud setting. The reverse of this portrait is engraved with the initials "CAP" and the date "July 1840" on the reverse. The identities of these sitters remains unknown. John Carlin, a deaf mute, was born in Philadelphia and graduated from the Pennsylvania Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. At school he proved himself a talented painter. He went on to study with John Rubens Smith and John Neagle of Philadelphia before going to Paris to study with the academic master Paul Delaroche. Upon his return to the United States Carlin settled in New York, becoming one of the city’s most sought after miniaturists. Carlin was also a genre and landscape painter, a writer, and a poet.
