shaded side of the rock behind the figures in the center of (98A). The sailors and boat may have been first suggested by the sailors in (98A); however, the curve of the boat's prow in (96) follows the curve of the back and leg of the sailor in the water. Picasso's sailors are imagined in the forms of the distant rocks from (98A) and the sailor in the boat. The pigeon and the girl were found in the light areas of the woman in the center of (98A). Note the feather-like light areas of her dress. Tones in the landscape on the left side of (98A) plotted the standing figure of (96).

"Au Cabaret" 1934 (97)

Louis Le Nain's "Peasants at Supper" (84A) and Durer's "Man in Despair" (97B) served Picasso when he executed his print "Au Cabaret" 1934, (97). The horizontal composition and the seated male on the left came from (84A). The standing male on the extreme left of (97), a Picasso self-portrait, was modelled after the male on the left of (97B). The bare arms and legs of the seated male on the left of (97) and the lines defining his muscles show Picasso's interest in Durer's shading of the "Man in Despair." The arch in the upper left of (97) was found in the upper left of (97B). The triangle of three heads is topped in both (97) and (97B) by a haunting head looking directly out of the picture toward the viewer. The bearded musician was perceived in the area under the bent left arm of the "Man in Despair." His curly hair explains the curly beard of Picasso's musician. For the dancing woman, Picasso's imagination combined the head and chest of the standing figure in (97B) with what he saw as the form of a figure in the cross-hatching next to the left side of the standing figure. The left bicep of the "Man in Despair" became the right hip of the dancer. The seated figure on the right of (97) is just barely hinted at in the shaded landscape forms which Picasso coupled with the head of the reclining female in (97B).

"Four Girls with Chimera" 1934 (98)

Picasso's "Four Girls with Chimera" 1934, (98) was also based on Delacroix's "Abduction of Arab Women by African Pirates" (98A). The Chimera's neck was created from the central rock of (98A). The head was made from the central woman's torso and the pirate holding her. The wings are the rocks on the left. The body is the area of rocks and water under the foot of the pirate in the middle.
