From the collection of Art Collection of the University Göttingen
This painting depicts a scene with three figures and a dog. A woman, Susanna, sits on a stone platform, naked, with her back turned. She has long blonde hair and looks over her shoulder. Two older men, dressed in dark robes, stand behind her, one holding a tree branch. A dog is at their feet. The background is a garden with trees and a building. The painting is rich in detail, with intricate textures and folds in the clothing. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
