Ramboux went to Rome in 1816 and joined there the Nazarene circle. He made extensive, documentarily important watercolours after early Italian painting in addition to collecting works from that period. His Rebecca and Eliezer at the Well has some of the delicacy of a Persian miniature, and of Ingres early Primitive style.
