介绍（中）	利奥塔德出生于日内瓦，基本上是自学成才，他一生大部分时间都在旅行，以一种稳定而敏锐的眼光捕捉欧洲上层阶级的形象。他的肖像画，通常用粉笔或粉彩绘制，表现出一种准科学的观察清晰度，更像是启蒙运动的好奇心，而不是洛可可的技巧在本页中，注意力集中在面部，红色和黑色粉笔组成的柔和阴影网络轻轻地标记了被拍摄者的面部地形，如光线的照射所示。这种深思熟虑而又正式的姿势，眼睛均匀地凝视着远方，传达出一种平静的权威。不幸的是，这个英俊自信的男人的身份无法确定。前主人的家族记录中的一个传统是，这位保姆是日内瓦和巴黎银行家安德烈家族的成员根据利奥塔德的做法，这种床单应该被视为成品，即在与头发、肉和衣服相对应的背面区域涂上彩色洗涤剂。据推测，这是为了巧妙地增强纸张正面的色调变化（佩林·斯坦因）
介绍（英）	Born in Geneva and largely self-taught, Liotard spent a great part of his life travelling, capturing the likenesses of Europe’s upper classes with a steady and penetrating eye. His portraits, typically executed in chalk or pastel, exhibit a quasi-scientific clarity of observation, more suggestive of Enlightenment curiosity than of Rococo artifice. In the present sheet, attention is focussed on the face, where a soft network of hatching in red and black chalk gently mark the topography of the sitter’s features as revealed by the fall of light. The thoughtful yet formal pose, with eyes gazing evenly into the distance, conveys a calm authority. The identity of this handsome and self-assured man unfortunately cannot be stated with certainty. A tradition within the family records of the previous owner identified the sitter as a member of the André family, bankers in Geneva and Paris. Such sheets would have been considered finished works, as suggested by Liotard’s practice of applying colored wash on areas of the verso corresponding to hair, flesh, and clothing. Presumably, this was intended to subtly enhance tonal variations on the recto of the sheet. (Perrin Stein)
