About this work

The drunken Lot sits on a rock and kisses one of his daughters. She holds a wine glass in her hand and embraces her father. The other daughter stands in the foreground with a jug in her hand. Both daughters seduce their father Lot and make him drunk, so that they can bear his children (Gen. 18: 31-34). In the background: burning Sodom and Lot's wife as a pillar of salt (Gen. 18: 24-26).
