Lot and His Daughters Leaving Sodom

Hendrik Goltzius after Anthonie van Blocklandt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed illustration with full-length figures of several individuals. The central figure is walking alongside another person with wings, possibly an angel, who holds a walking staff. The winged figure supports and guides the man with one hand on his shoulder. The man has facial hair, prominent cheekbones, long and somewhat unkempt hair, and is barefoot. His clothing is long and flowing, resembling a robe. The angel has curly hair, a calm expression, and wears a draped garment. Behind them, three more figures are gathered, also with wings and similar attire, engaged in an interaction. One of the figures gestures forward emphatically. The setting includes large, leafy trees and a walled cityscape or village in the far background. The artwork has a monochromatic tone with fine lines and shades that create a dramatic, classical scene.
