- Curator's comments
- The fourth of the series, representing Lot and his daughters, is in the Albertina at Vienna (No. 396 of Benesch's catalogue). The drawings appear to have been made for engraving, as the figures are represented left-handed (e.g. in No. 1), but the engravings were not carried out.
