專家說明

In a letter dated December 5, 1840 to Benjamin Franklin Thompson, a lawyer and political leader on Long Island and a noted historian of Long Island history, William Sidney Mount wrote of the present work, "I presume you recollect the picture you admired so much in my studio, a Boy sitting with a book in his hands and surrounded by flowers. If you will accept it as a token of esteem and friendship from the Artist you are welcome to it. I value it as a sketch highly. I will send it to you the first opportunity." (as quoted in A. Frankenstein, William Sidney Mount, New York, 1975, p. 102)
