Lot and His Daughters, between 1735-1740. A group of figures is shown in front of the entrance to the tent with open halves. Lot was depicted sitting in a moment of reflection over a bowl filled with wine held in both hands. He is shown as an elderly man with a bald head and a long gray beard with a moustache. He is half-naked, and his body is covered only by a yellow cloth below his waist. Next to him on the right is one of the daughters, visible from behind, who is resting on Lot's knee with her right hand. She is shown in a white tunic revealing her back, in a white wrap on her head and in a blue fabric wrapped around her legs. The other daughter stands behind her father and puts her right hand on his shoulder, and in her left hand she holds a chalice facing which she is facing. She is dressed in green and pink robes, with an exposed neckline. In the foreground on the ground on the left are two metal jugs and a red weaving, next to which lies a bowl from which red wine is poured. Massive silhouettes of trees and rocks emerge from behind the tent. In the background, on the left, you can see the stormy sea and the silhouette of a burning city.
