About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Jan Victors, a prominent pupil of Rembrandt, this work captures the narrative drama of Abraham parting from the family of Lot. The scene is rendered with a characteristically warm palette and masterful handling of light and shadow, highlighting the expressive faces and the intricate, heavy fabrics of the figures' garments.
