Lot and His Daughters 

This circular engraving by Master S, a German printmaker active between 1516 and 1545, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Lot and his daughters. The composition is crowded, with the three figures in the foreground, Lot and his daughters, and a city burning in the distance. The scene is set in a landscape with a tree, a river, and a distant city with a gate, alluding to the escape of Lot and his daughters from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The engraving's fine details and the use of cross-hatching create a sense of drama and urgency, while the composition’s circular format draws attention to the family group in the foreground.
