Dietrich Schuchardt

Lot's Frau (lot's Wife)

A striking gouache on card by Dietrich Schuchardt, *Lot's Wife* draws on the biblical narrative of transformation and consequence, depicting the moment of the woman's fateful backward glance. Schuchardt employs the rich, opaque qualities of gouache to render form and atmosphere with bold intensity, capturing a figure suspended between motion and stillness. The work evokes themes of longing, loss, and the irreversible passage of time.
