Lot en zijn dochters 1708 - 1714

This etching by Louis (II) Du Guernier, titled "Lot en zijn dochters", depicts a scene from the biblical story of Lot and his daughters. Created between 1708 and 1714, the artwork shows Lot, a weary and aged figure, seated with his daughters in the wilderness. The daughters, depicted with youthful beauty, offer him food and drink, symbolizing their care for their father. The scene's backdrop features a mountainous landscape, evoking a sense of desolation and the harshness of the daughters' situation. The detailed etching style and the use of light and shadow create a dramatic and moving portrayal of the biblical story.
