Default Lot and His Daughters

A couple of years ago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art put on display a large painting by Rubens of Lot and His Daughters that I love. More recently, and temporarily, the museum has put on display a superb drawing of the same motif by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin. Meanwhile, in the Corot gallery (does your museum have a gallery of nothing but Corot...?) there are two versions of the The Burning of Sodom, one being a study for the big picture. As is often the case, I prefer the preliminary smaller painting. As for the two Lot and His Daughters, I don't know which I prefer.
