Suzanna en de ouderlingen 1645 - 1646

"Suzanna en de ouderlingen" is a 17th-century engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem depicting the biblical story of Susanna. The artwork, which is a small print measuring 84mm by 65mm, depicts the moment when Susanna is being propositioned by two elders in a garden. Sichem, known for his detailed engravings, captures the drama of the scene through the use of expressive lines and contrasts in light and shadow. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a testament to the artist's ability to depict biblical narratives with both accuracy and artistic flair.
