Susanna and the Elders

Paul Maupin, after Jacques Stella

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures. The central figure is a woman seated next to a water source, with water at her feet. She is seated with her body slightly turned to the side. Two older men stand closely behind her, with one reaching out towards her. The woman has long hair and is partially covered with a cloth on her head. The men have curly hair and pronounced facial features. They are dressed in long-sleeved garments. The background includes an architectural structure with an arched window and stonework, surrounded by trees.
