The figures at the top of the sheet are based on Delcacroix's painting The Abduction of Rebecca. Chappuis writes: "Cezanne probably drew these from a photograph, or one of the reproductions cited by Robaut 974 and Le Memorial 355, making a study of the head and arm of the horseman carrying off Rebecca." The subject is taken from Sir Walter Scott's novel Ivanhoe, published in 1819.
Eugène Delacroix, The Abduction of Rebecca, oil on canvas, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
