A scriptural scene from the Book of Genesis. At the right, an angel, with wings spread is showing Lot the path. Another heavenly guide in the center is hastening the steps of Lot's wife, who is turning toward him, her hands clasped in pleading, her eyes full of tears. A daughter, at the left, a basket full of jewels in her arms, holds the bridle of an ass loaded with precious articles. Behind the ass the second daughter carries on her head a large basket full of fruits. In the sky are four demons armed with thunderbolts which they are showering upon the doomed town.
