介绍（中）	维多利亚时代著名的评论家罗斯金撰写了关于美学、艺术和建筑的文章，收藏了艺术，他自己也是一位出色的水彩画家。赫科默的这项研究是基于他自己于1881年在格罗夫纳美术馆（现为伦敦国家肖像画廊）展出的1879年水彩。1880年，这位艺术家创作了一幅由美术学会出版的相关作品，并很可能为亨利·布莱克本的《格罗夫纳笔记》（1881）绘制了这幅作品。后一种期刊经常要求其作品正在接受审查的艺术家提供一张供复制的图纸，在这种情况下，使用了照片排版。赫尔科默和鲁斯金在鲁斯金60岁时退休，担任牛津大学斯莱德美术教授，赫尔科默担任该职位时，他们结下了不解之缘。这种联系促使对自己外表评价不高的罗斯金同意坐下来。在1879年12月1日写给Sara Anderson的一封信中，这位评论家写道："我对Mr。然而，赫尔科默为我画了一幅美丽的画，这是第一个从我脸上的土块中收集到好处的人。在大都会博物馆，赫科默的相关mezzotint（44.84（1））的一个例子与一套以罗斯金绘画后的建筑版画装订在一起，题为"威尼斯建筑的例子"，1851年。
介绍（英）	The leading Victorian critic Ruskin wrote on aesthetics, art and architecture, collected art and was himself an accomplished watercolorist. Herkomer based this study on his own watercolor of 1879 shown at the Grosvenor Gallery in 1881 (now National Portrait Gallery, London). In 1880, the artist created a related mezzotint published by the Fine Art Society and likely made the present drawing for Henry Blackburn's "Grosvenor Notes" (1881). The latter periodical often asked artists whose works were being reviewed to supply a drawing for reproduction, and in this case used photo-typography. Herkomer and Ruskin had bonded when the latter retired as Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford at the age of sixty and Herkomer took up the position. The connection encouraged Ruskin, who did not think highly of his own appearance, to agree to sit. In a letter to Sara Anderson of December 1, 1879, the critic wrote, “I’ve been quite a prisoner to Mr. Herkomer, who has, however, made a beautiful drawing of me, the first that has ever given what good may be gleaned out of the clods of my face." At the Met, an example of Herkomer's related mezzotint (44.84(1)) is bound with a set architectural prints after drawings by Ruskin, titled "Examples of Architecture of Venice," 1851.
