Susanna 1869

This marble sculpture, *Susanna*, was created by Giovanni Battista Lombardi in 1869. The piece is located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and depicts the biblical figure of Susanna, who is shown seated and partially draped. The piece is a prime example of Neoclassical sculpture, reflecting an interest in classical Greek and Roman forms and themes, which was prominent in the late 19th century.
