The artist has referenced this pastel after Nicolas Poussin (1594- 1665), a French classical painter.
Poussin represented the theoretical tradition in Western art that goes back to the Early Renaissance that asserts that all good art must be the result of good judgment, that is, a judgment based on sure knowledge.
