1526
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Lot and His Daughters is a 1526 ink by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows Lot and his daughters in a quiet, intimate scene. The figures are arranged in a triangular composition, with Lot in the center and his daughters on either side. The daughters are shown with gentle, expressive faces, while Lot's face is more serious. The engraving is done in a detailed, cross-hatched style, which gives the figures a sense of depth and texture. The background is simple, with a few lines suggesting a landscape. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the figures are lost in thought.
