He also carried out large-scale paintings illustrating themes of the Aeneid for the Palais-Royal (1714–1717).Eliezer was sent by his master Abraham to find a wife for Isaac, Abraham’s son. His swore to find a wife from Abraham’s family. Eliezer reached Aram Naharayim and stopped at the well, one location where people meet.
