Susanna and the Elders

Christian Rohlfs

National Gallery of Art

The image features thick dark lines and bold brush strokes forming jagged and angular shapes. Within these forms are fragmented human-like figures, with limbs and facial features, appearing dynamic and in motion. The composition evokes a sense of movement similar to dancers or individuals expressing themselves.
