介绍（中）	埃莉诺·卡斯蒂斯，被称为"奈莉"，是玛莎·华盛顿的孙女，乔治·华盛顿的养女（内莉·卡斯蒂斯的祖父是玛莎·华盛顿的第一任丈夫丹尼尔·帕克·卡斯蒂斯）。卡斯蒂斯在弗农山庄、乔治和玛莎华盛顿的庄园长大，然后在 1789 年与家人一起搬到纽约的政府所在地，选举使她的继祖父成为美国第一任总统。一年后，全家搬到了费城，直到1797年华盛顿退休。卡斯蒂斯在纽约和费城生活期间参加的艺术课程可能包括剪影教学，让她准备好渲染乔治华盛顿的这幅空心剪影肖像，其中负面轮廓从板上剪下来并放在黑色织物支架上。卡斯蒂斯创作了玛莎华盛顿的剪影肖像，也在大都会的收藏中（见访问编号1976.567）。
介绍（英）	Eleanor Custis, known as "Nelly," was the granddaughter of Martha Washington and adopted stepdaughter of George Washington (Nelly Custis’s paternal grandfather was Daniel Parke Custis, Martha Washington’s first husband). Custis grew up at Mount Vernon, George and Martha Washington’s estate, then moved with the family in 1789 to the seat of government in New York following the election that made her step-grandfather the first president of the United States. A year later, the family moved to Philadelphia, where they would remain until Washington’s retirement from office in 1797. The art courses that Custis took while living in New York and Philadelphia likely included silhouette-cutting instruction, priming her to render this hollow-cut silhouette portrait of George Washington, in which the negative profile was cut from board and placed atop a black fabric support. Custis created a silhouette portrait of Martha Washington that is also in The Met's collection (see accesion number 1976.567).
