Susanna and the Elders is a 1592 ink by Annibale Carracci, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a woman sitting under a tree, wrapped in a cloth. Two older men stand nearby, peering at her. The woman looks calm but aware, while the men seem tense. Trees and buildings appear in the background, but the focus is on the three figures. The artist used sharp lines to show the woman’s soft curves and the men’s rougher edges. The scene feels quiet but charged, like a moment frozen in time. Want to see how this artist’s style changed over time? Look up Carracci, Annibale.
Annibale Carracci ( kə-RAH-chee, UK also kə-RATCH-ee, Italian: ; November 3, 1560 – July 15, 1609) was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome.
