Lot en zijn dochters en Hagar en Ismaël in de woestijn 1683 - 1733

This etching by Bernard Picart, created between 1683 and 1733, depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis in which Lot and his daughters flee Sodom. The composition shows Lot reclining in a cave, his two daughters attending to him. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and rocks. This etching is a fine example of the art of engraving, which was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. The artist's attention to detail in capturing the figures, landscape, and the emotional nuance of the biblical scene is evident in the intricate detail of the etching. This work is a testament to the power of art to depict religious stories in a compelling and visually engaging way.
