介绍（中）	1792年7月，John Baptist Malchair在赫里福德郡旅行时，对一家正在工作的铸造厂进行了这项大气研究，他在背面仔细地刻下了位置、日期和时间。这幅画似乎是在靠近威尔士边境的一个村庄Canon Bridge绘制的。在绘制的石墨线上涂上了大胆的水彩，以捕捉在夜空中从熔炉喷出的烟雾和火焰的效果，以及在边界河流中反射的建筑物。这位艺术家与德比的约瑟夫·赖特（1734-1797）等同时代人分享了他对工业革命对英国景观影响的兴趣。Malchair出生于科隆，1759年移居牛津，成为一名音乐家和绘画大师。在后一种身份下，他鼓励学生从自然中写生。这幅作品的自由创作可能在一定程度上是由于艺术家视力的恶化，但它也表明了对约翰·罗伯特·科岑斯（1752-1797）水彩画的重新研究。
介绍（英）	When he made this atmospheric study of a working foundry during a trip to Herefordshire in July 1792, John Baptist Malchair carefully inscribed the location, date, and time on the back. The drawing appears to have been made at Canon Bridge, a village close to the Welsh border. Bold watercolor washes were applied over sketched graphite lines, to capture the effects of smoke and fire belching from a furnace against a night sky, together with buildings reflected in a bordering river. The artist shared his interest in the impact of the industrial revolution upon the English landscape with contemporaries such as Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797). Born in Cologne, Malchair had moved to Oxford in 1759 to work as a musician and drawing master. In the latter capacity, he encouraged his students to sketch from nature. The free execution of this work may have resulted, in part, from the artist's worsening vision, but it also suggests a renewed study of the watercolors of John Robert Cozens (1752-1797).
