This print shows three people in a dimly lit room with a window behind them. Two women stand near a shelf holding jars, dressed in flowing robes. An older man kneels in front of them, wrapped in a cloth, drinking from a cup. Outside the window, a distant town glows faintly under a dark sky. The title says this is "Lot and his Daughters," a story from the Bible. The women appear calm, but the man’s posture looks weary. The print was made after a painting by Guercino, but the artist here is Raphael Morghen. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
