Picasso saw the woman's profile.
The hat and hair of the Sultana =
the thumb and fingers holding the hair.
Light drapery and the Sultana's face =

the woman's breasts.
The head of the servant girl =
the mirror.
The coat of the servant girl =
the large feet of the woman.
The pillow under the Sultana's left arm =

the bottom of Picasso's woman.
The left knee of the Sultana =
the area of the left knee.

The corner of the table in the foreground =
the rectangle under the woman.

"Drawing" 1967, (144)

Picasso did many drawings from "Raphael and Fornarina" by Ingres (144A). Another similar source was “Paolo and Francesca” by Alexandre Cabanel (158A). This "Drawing" (144) is an example.

"Circus Scene" 1967, (145)

"Drawing" (144) and "Circus Scene" (145) were also drawn from (139A) The two horse's heads appear in the first folds of the drapery where a dark triangle meets a five-sided shape of a lighter value. This angular shape is on the nose of the white-faced horse. The tail of this horse is on the upper right corner of (139A).
