卢克·法尔兹(Luke Fildes)有一幅优秀的维多利亚油画——《大夫》(图1)。画中一个小女孩奄奄一息地躺在床上,她的父亲绝望地看着她,而画面的中心人物是一位大夫,他正专注地望着他的病人。大夫在凝神思考,而实际上他已无能为力了。虽然他和那个绝望的父亲相隔6英尺远,社会地位也有一定差距,但是我们看得出他几乎一样绝望。他眉头紧锁,一只手支撑着留有髭须的下颌,带着他那特殊职业所赋予的沉静和关切。这就是大夫在绝望时的态度举止,法而兹将它们永久地定格在了画布上。 Luke Fildes has an excellent Victorian oil painting “The Doctor” (Figure 1). In the painting, a little girl was lying on her bed in dying. Her father looked at her desperately. At the center of the picture was a doctor who was looking attentively at his patient. The doctor meditated, but in fact he could do nothing. Although he was six feet away from the desperate father, there was a certain disparity in social status, but we could see he was almost as desperate. He frowned, his hand supporting the jaws of his mustache, with the calm and concern he had given him in that particular occupation. This is the manner in which the doctor behaves in despair, and the Fa will freeze them permanently on the canvas.
