Mahogany panel. One of the many paintings of the story of Susanna, who is spied upon by two old men when taking a bath. When the modest Susanna rejects their advances, they cause serious problems for her. Daniel comes to the rescue in the end.

Rembrandt had depicted Susanna before, in 1636. On that panel the two men are still hidden.
