143

To the above mentioned sources Picasso added Ingres's "Turkish Bath" (17A) and Gerome's "Women's Bath at Brusia" (152B) printed on the same page as "Tepidarium" (152A) in the Ingres book to do both "Drawing" (151) and "Drawing" (152). Other harem sources are "In the Harem" (152C) and “Le Harem" (152D). Another Sultan may be seen in (158A).

"Drawing" 1968 (153)

Picasso turned back to (149A) to combine it with (152B) to make another "Drawing" (153) in 1968.

Etching” March 16-22, 1968 (154)

He did an etching (154) from a reproduction in this same monograph on Ingres on March 22, 1968. The source for the arrangement was found in Friedrich Overbeck's "Triumph of Religion in the Arts" (154A).

Etching” May 13, 1968 (155)

Continuing to mine the same monograph, Picasso chose Ingres's "King Philip V of Spain investing the Marshall of Berwick with the Golden Fleece after the Battle of Almanza 1818" (155A) to parody turning King Philip into a photographer in his "Etching" (155) of May 13, 1968. The ladies were found in the flags and figures on the right of (155A).

"Aquatint" of May 15, 1968 (156)
Again, Picasso amused himself by selecting "Jesus Among the Doctors" by Ingres (156A) to represent himself in his "Aquatint" of May 15, 1968 (156).

"Aquatint" of May 28, 1968 (157)


Picasso looked at Ingres's (155A) on May 28, 1968 along with Cranach's “David and Bathsheba” (127A) and did "Suite 347 L123 Old man thinking of his life: gallant youth” an aquatint (157).
