Kneeling at the feet of his father, Apollo, Phaethon asked him to lend him his car. This subject, enriched personifications of the four seasons and time, originates from "Metamorphoses" of Ovid. The composition, including Nicolas Poussin's inventor, said nothing of the tragic end that awaits the young Phaethon. We do not know the identity of the author of this painter old copy. The name of Eustache Le Sueur was proposed several times, because of the affection he wore sujet.Il treated him, in fact, on the ceiling of the House of Muses of the Hotel Lambert. However, the invention provides a better understanding of space, a more pronounced depth. He probably looked at the composition of Poussin, but nothing indicates that it has established a copy for study purposes.

This copy of the work of Nicolas Poussin, "Helios and Phaeton with Saturn and the Four Seasons" (Berlin, Gemäldegalerie) was in the Paris collection of Charles Vincent Ocampo, in the early twentieth century. In 1931, Ocampo donated, subject to usufruct, to the City of Paris. He left the usufruct in 1942.
