Cherubino Alberti's 1578 print, *Saint Susanna in an interior holding an open book in her left hand, a palm in her right, a landscape visible through a window at right and at bottom center a coat of arms*, is a prime example of the Italian Renaissance style, emphasizing idealized figures and classical architectural elements. The engraving depicts Saint Susanna, a Roman martyr, standing in a richly decorated interior, holding a book and a palm branch, symbols of her faith and martyrdom. The inscription at the bottom, "Ex ea qua illet R. Card. Rusticivc Rome Sup-Ostiv-s-Svsane-ttt Svi-po", likely refers to Cardinal Rusticucci, for whom the print may have been commissioned. This print combines religious devotion with artistic elegance, showcasing Alberti's mastery of etching techniques and his ability to create a captivating scene.
