The eastern setting includes palms, a sphinx, a god with a cornucopia (the Nile?), and a carob tree, as well as a pagan act of worship at the left. The arrangement of the maids recalls figure groups in works such as Poussin NG 6277.
In Félibien\'s Life of Poussin (1685) this picture is recorded as painted in 1651 for M. Reynon, a silk merchant from Lyon.
Poussin treated the subject three times: in 1638, in 1647 (both Paris, Louvre), and finally in this work. The arc of figures perfected here was formulated in the 1647 version. In 1650 Poussin had painted for Reynon Christ healing the Blind Man (Paris, Louvre), an all-male pendant, as it were, to NG 6519. Both works have as their underlying theme the celebration of the sense of sight, a theme emphasised by the unusual brilliance of Poussin\'s colour.
Acquired by the Duc de Richelieu and then by Lomérie de Brienne before 1662; bought by the Marquis de Seignelay before 1685; bought by the first Lord Clive (1725-74), and thence by descent; acquired jointly by the National Gallery and the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, 1988.
