Sul dipinto
Eliezer and Rebecca (in French Éliézer et Rébecca) or Eliezer Giving Abraham's Presents to Rebecca (Éliézer remet les présents d'Abraham à Rébecca) is an oil-on-canvas paintings by Nicolas Poussin, dating to c.1647–1649, commissioned by silk merchant and banker Jean Pointel and is now in the Louvre. Another similar version is at the Fitzwilliam Museum, whilst another (dated to around 1626 and formerly in Cassiano dal Pozzo's and Denis Mahon's collections) is in a private collection and shows Rebecca quenching Eliezer's thirst rather than Eliezer giving the gifts.
