介绍（中）	作为19世纪40年代末布朗的情妇，艾玛·希尔（1829–1890）是一位受欢迎的模特，但在他们1853年结婚后，酗酒影响了她的容貌。当他制作这幅粉彩时，这位艺术家写道，"现在她躺在床上，因为发烧而变得消瘦，她看起来像往常一样生动和年轻。"布朗比创始的拉斐尔前派更年长，他同情他们的议程，与丹特·加布里埃尔·罗塞蒂（Dante Gabriel Rossetti）特别亲近。与后者的感性相呼应，他在这里为对生命脆弱的沉思增添了一种感官品质。艾玛手持一束堇或紫罗兰。1872年秋天，在她22岁的女儿凯茜与德国音乐学家弗朗茨·休弗（Franz Hueffer）举行婚礼后，艾玛感染并患上了重病。这位艺术家在她漫长的康复过程中创作了这幅作品。这幅画有两个几乎相同的版本，另一个在英国伯明翰博物馆和美术馆。
介绍（英）	As Brown’s mistress in the late 1840s, Emma Hill (1829–1890) was a favorite model, but after their 1853 marriage, alcoholism affected her appearance. When he made this pastel, the artist wrote, “Now that she is lying in bed thinned with the fever she looks very pictorial and young as ever again.” Older than the founding Pre-Raphaelites, Brown sympathized with their agenda and was particularly close to Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Echoing the latter’s sensibility, he here added a sensual quality to a meditation on life’s fragility. Emma is shown holding a bunch of pansies or violets. In the autumn of 1872, following the wedding of Cathy, her twenty-two year old daughter, to German musicologist Franz Hueffer, Emma succumbed to an infection and became dangerously ill. The artist made this work during her long recovery. There are two nearly identical versions of the drawing, the other in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, UK.
