Peasants" in 1919, (85) to the figures of Ingres. I suggest that a specific figure in El Greco's "Purification of the Temple" (85A) has been reversed by Picasso. The numerous folds in the clothing are alike in both paintings. Poussin's “Midas and Bacchus" (85B) also has a female in a corresponding pose and has a male figure asleep directly above the woman (Barr 106).

EXAMPLE FROM 1921

"The Three Musicians" 1921 (86)

Nicolas Tournier's "The Concert" (86A) is composed of numerous planes in varying positions thrusting into space. These planes unite the figures, and the many different patterns displayed in this work suggested to Picasso a similar subject and solution for "The Three Musicians" 1921, (86), which is an abstracted transformation of "The Concert." This example of Synthetic Cubism presents numerous layers of depth through the use of overlapping planes. Picasso also used various shapes, objects, angles and textures which he rearranged in his crowded, but ordered composition. Picasso's "Musicians with Masks" (86P) is a similar work.

EXAMPLE FROM 1923

"Bullfight" 1923 (87) and (88)

Two more pencil drawings of the "Bullfight" (87) and (88) were drawn in 1923 after Poussin's "Tancred and Erminia" (77A).

EXAMPLES FROM 1929

"Woman in Armchair" 1929 (89)

The anguished head of Picasso's "Woman in Armchair" (89) was produced from the headdress of Ingres' "The Bather" (89A). The armchair was made from the cloth in the foreground of (89A). Ingres' pool was elevated to the same plane as the background wall in Picasso's painting.
