The Story of Lot by Heinrich Aldegrever depicts a scene with a man standing on the left and two figures on the right. The man on the left has curly hair covered by a cloth, and is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, puffy short pants with a sash around his waist, and knee-high socks with shoes. He stands with his right leg bent and reaches out with his right hand towards the figures on his right. The two figures on the right have curly hair, with one appearing to be an angel due to large wings on their back. The central figure holds a wrapped object in both hands, and the figure on the right reaches towards it. The scene takes place in front of a doorway with a column on the left and a cityscape with buildings and a tower in the background. The ground is littered with rocks and a skull. The image is in black and white.
