Black and white engraving of a scene depicting a group of people in a courtyard setting. A woman stands in the center, surrounded by a crowd of mostly men. Two older, bearded men are positioned to her right, one with his hand on his forehead. A seated man points towards the woman with his right hand. He sits on the left, holding a sword. The woman wears a dress and has her hands clasped. Behind her, two figures interact near a column and archway. The background features a decorative element hanging from the top left, and a circular scene above the archway on the right. A date and initials are in the bottom left corner. The scene shows the woman accused, titled "The Story of Susanna: Susanna Accused of Adultery" by Heinrich Aldegrever.
