The painting shows a scene with Susanna and the elders in a garden. The story is from the Bible, and the artist tells it in two parts. The artist likely chose this story because it's a dramatic tale of innocence and false accusations, which was popular in art at the time. The artist's use of colors and composition adds to the drama of the scene. Check out the work of the artist: Master of Apollo and Daphne.
