This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Lot Daughters recto Sketch verso 1600s Circle". Created by the renowned Italian artist Pietro da Cortona in the 17th century, this piece is a true testament to his exceptional talent. The image captures two distinct sides of the artwork, with the front side (recto) depicting Lot and His Daughters. The scene portrays an intense biblical narrative, showcasing Lot and his daughters in a moment of profound emotion and turmoil. Da Cortona's masterful use of pen and brown ink over black chalk creates depth and texture that brings this ancient story to life.

Measuring at approximately 21.8 x 19.6 cm, this exquisite piece is heightened with traces of white gouache, adding subtle highlights that enhance its overall visual impact. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print serves as both an artistic treasure and historical artifact. It provides viewers with a glimpse into one artist's interpretation of an age-old tale while also offering valuable insights into da Cortona's technique and artistic development during the 1600s in Italy.
