介绍（中）	作为哈德逊河画派的第二代画家，吉福德以其独特的光与氛围大师风格，成为了一位杰出的风景画家。南北战争时期绘画的主要作品，如1862年大都会的《山中峡谷》（Kautterskill Clove），其中阳光的圆形扩散填补了中央的空白，确保了这位艺术家的声誉。吉福德去世一年后，于1870年担任大都会博物馆创始人的吉福德于1881年在其位于中央公园的新建筑中获得了该机构的首次专题回顾 1853年，这位艺术家创作了一幅精美的《自画像》，当时吉福德30岁，在他的家乡纽约哈德逊附近作画。它是根据那年夏天的一幅漂亮的铅笔画而成的。吉福德的纸上油画《自画像》是以椭圆形的格式创作的，放在一个银版的盒子里。这位艺术家穿着他的工作服——一顶宽边帽遮住眼睛，一件米白色的艺术家工作服，脖子上围着一块黑色头巾。他转过身来，大胆而自信地凝视着观众。吉福德在这幅作品中使用了小巧精致的笔触和微妙的调色板。
介绍（英）	As a second generation Hudson River school painter, Gifford emerged as a leading landscape painter with a signature style as a master of light and atmosphere. Major works painted during the Civil War era, such as the Metropolitan’s "Gorge in the Mountains (Kauterskill Clove)," 1862, in which the circular diffusion of sunlight fills the central void, secured the artist’s reputation. A year after his death, Gifford, who served as a founder of the Metropolitan Museum in 1870, was accorded the institution’s first monographic retrospective in 1881, in its new building in Central Park. The exquisite "Self-Portrait" by the artist was executed in 1853, at the age of thirty and when Gifford was painting in the vicinity of his home town of Hudson New York. It is based on a beautiful pencil drawing from the summer of that year. Gifford’s oil on paper "Self-Portrait" is created in an oval format and is placed in a daguerreotype case. The artist wears his working attire – a broad-brimmed hat to shade his eyes, and an off-white artist’s smock with a black kerchief around his neck. He turns to confront the viewer with a bold and confident gaze. Gifford used small, delicate brush strokes, and a subtle palette in this work.
