48、户，但最令世界注目的是画中人物的脸。,Sandy Wong,Para. 10 伍德喜欢画他熟悉的脸。为画神色严肃的农夫，他选择了他那表情木讷的牙医，至于站在他身边的农妇，他选择了自己的姐姐南。他把模特的脖子稍稍画长了一些，但无疑能看出谁是画像的原型。 Para. 11 南后来说道，美国哥特人带给她的名誉使她摆脱了一种非常乏味的生活。,Sandy Wong,野牛镍币 Para. 12 今天，美国的硬币都用来纪念美国政府的杰出人物，其中大部分是著名的前总统。但1913至1938年间发行的野牛镍币，却是为了纪念由美国拓居引起的两起相互关联的悲剧野牛群的灭绝和美洲印第安人的毁灭。,Sandy Wong
