The present drawing was made while Leighton was living in Paris, having taken a studio in the Rue Pigalle in 1855. At this time he was predominantly concerned with classical subjects, and so the current subject matter taken from Genesis is something of a departure, as it precedes the work Leighton did for Dalziel's Bible in the 1860s.
