In 1846 and 1851 Lot worked as a drawing teacher at the grammar school in Wesel , where he taught the later painters Ernst Bosch , Ernst von Bernuth and Ludwig Hugo Becker .

His work Die Waldszene , which hangs in Düsseldorf City Hall, became famous. Lot specialized in particular in the representation of river and forest landscapes on the Lower Rhine , in which in the distance, occasionally identifiable city silhouettes, etc. a. those of Kleve and Xanten appear. The artist's works were shown by the art dealers Eduard Schulte and Bismeyer & Kraus in Düsseldorf as well as the annual exhibitions in Düsseldorf, Berlin, Hanover, Bremen and the Netherlands, including evening scenery with cattle ( Kunstverein exhibition, Düsseldorf 1854; purchase), oak forest with artists and farmers (Kunstverein Hannover 1856), The forest near Neuchâtel (permanent art exhibition Eduard Schulte, Düsseldorf 1868; purchased by the Grand Duke of Oldenburg ), Flooded Lower Rhine landscape with animals (academic art exhibition, Berlin 1868), view of Kleve (permanent art exhibition Bismeyer & Kraus, Düsseldorf 1869), Landscape with Sheep (Kunstverein, Düsseldorf 1873) and Forest Landscape (Academic Art Exhibition, Berlin 1876). Contemporary critics praised his ability to create images with the simplest of means and an "unsought naturalness" in his works. Occasionally his painting was characterized as "in the style of the old Dutch". From 1854 to 1860 he was a member of the Düsseldorf artists' association Malkasten .

A photographic portrait of the artist is in the Malkasten archive in Düsseldorf.
