This 16th-century print by an anonymous artist depicts the biblical story of Lot and the angels. The scene takes place in a courtyard, with a house on the right and figures moving through the space. Lot, standing in the doorway, gestures to two angelic figures, one female and one male, as they walk towards him. Two figures stand on the left, likely representing Lot's wife and daughters. The Latin inscription below the image describes Lot's hospitality towards the angels, referencing a story from the Book of Genesis. The print showcases the intricate detail of the Renaissance style and offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of the time.
