French School, circa 1800, after Nicolas Poussin
Eliezer and Rebecca at the Well
Oil on canvas

Unsigned. 14 ½ x 19 inches (37 x 48 cm). Unframed. Unlined, an old restoration at the upper right, losses at the center and along the edges, yellowed varnish.

The two who matter stand apart in the only gap in the crowd. Eliezer, in a white turban and a yellow robe, holds both hands open toward Rebecca, who presses a jewel against her breast and keeps her eyes lowered.

Around them the women of the town carry water jars, some kneeling at the left to fill them, others standing in a line at the right beside the well, one raising a green vessel above her head against the sky. A pillar crowned with a stone sphere closes the composition on the right, a town in warm stone rises behind on the left, and blue hills run across the distance. The drapery is laid in flat saturated color, blue, green, rose and orange, each figure given one dominant note.
