Description |
Lot and his daughters. Sitting under a tree Lot's daughters are seducing their father. All three figures are depicted naked and sitting or laying on the ground. The daughter on the left is holding a wine jar. Lot is holding a wine-drinking cup in his right hand. Bottom left stands a small table with cheeses and bread. A little dog is sitting by it. In the background on the right Sodom and Gomorra are burning. In front of the fire Lot's wife, who was turned into a pillar of salt, is standing. Behind the tree a fox looks on. |
