Description
In this scene, Lot is represented, drunk of the wine from a jug that rests fallen in the lower left of the painting. Lot rests, with his legs bare, on one of his daughters, who points to the horizon, where can be seen the smoke produced by the destruction of the cities condemned by God. The other daughter also appears half-naked like her father, with her back to the viewer.
