Elderly bearded figure of Lot sits to the right, holding out a basin with both his hands, into which one daughter, standing at his right shoulder, her left arm around him, pours him a drink from an ornate ewer. The second daughter stands to the left, holding aloft a small lamp on a chain in her left hand, watching her sister. The sisters' faces and upper bodies are well lit, revealing low cut gowns with tight bodices. Their father is draped in a light fabric across his right shoulder, his left shoulder bare. There is a dark and indistinct background.
