How does this artwork elucidate its Seven different versions?
Gentileschi had already dealt with the same theme before, in 1621, in a very different composition (also titled Lot and His Daughters), of which there are at least four versions: in the Getty Center, in Los Angeles, (considered the first), at the Gemäldegalerie, in Berlin, at the National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa, and at the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum, in Madrid, a version now considered to have been painted by his assistants.
