Eliezer and Rebecca is a painting by Nicolas Poussin, dated to 1660–1665 by Denis Mahon and now in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
History
editProduced for Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo, a close friend of Poussin, its first sale record was in London in 1795.[1] It was finally sold to art historian (and Cambridge spy) Anthony Blunt in 1933 and bought from his estate by its present owner in 1984.[1] It shows Rebecca quenching Eliezer's thirst.[1]
