Lot and His Daughters

About this work

This image is a black-and-white etching showing three people in a dim, wooded scene. A bearded man lies on the ground, half-covered by a woman’s cloak, while another woman kneels beside him, holding a cup. The background is full of tangled trees and a faint building in the distance. The lines are sharp and detailed, creating a sense of movement and drama. The scene looks like a moment from a story, with the text below hinting at a biblical tale. The artist used fine lines to show emotion and action, which is typical of etchings from this time. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made such precise prints.
