French school oil painting on canvas transferred on panel depicting Susanna and the Elders, second half of the 18th century. With gilded and carved wooden frame. On the back, ancient pencil inscription. The popular and successful subject of the Old Testament depicting the episode of Susanna and the Elders is here revived in a refined and successful way. The painting, embellished with an elegant frame, shows us Susanna, here dressed only in a white thong, as she comes out of the bathroom near a fountain and is held back, both to her left and to her right, by the two elderly people. The man standing to her right, in a yellow ocher robe and bright red coat, has already grabbed her forearm as she tries to hold him back with her outstretched hand. On the left a pink fountain with a dog-shaped gargoyle. In the background a view of a blue sky with white cloud formations.
