From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Lot and His Daughters is a 1530 ink by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a scene with three figures in a natural setting. On the left, a man stands with his back to a tree, while two women sit on rocks to the right. The man is naked, and the women are partially clothed. The woman on the right holds a jug, and the woman on the left holds a cup. The background features a landscape with trees and a body of water. A sword lies on the ground in front of the man, and a jug sits on a rock between the women. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The level of detail and realism in this painting is characteristic of the Renaissance style. To learn more about this period, explore the Renaissance movement.
