"Susanna and the Elders" is a 1614 oil painting by Dutch artist Pieter Pietersz. Lastman, known for his narrative and often dramatic biblical scenes. The painting depicts the biblical story of Susanna, a virtuous young wife who is accosted by two lecherous elders while bathing. According to the Book of Daniel, the elders threaten to accuse Susanna of adultery with a young man if she refuses their sexual advances. Susanna refuses and is subsequently tried for adultery, but her innocence is proven by the young prophet Daniel.

Lastman's rendition of this tale is noted for its vivid portrayal of the emotional states of the characters involved. The painting captures the moment of confrontation, highlighting Susanna's vulnerability and the menacing intent of the elders. The work is characterized by its detailed depiction and the use of light to enhance the narrative, a technique Lastman mastered under the influence of his earlier studies in Italy.

"Susanna and the Elders" by Lastman not only illustrates his skill in storytelling through art but also reflects the cultural and moral values of the early 17th-century Dutch society. The painting invites viewers to contemplate themes of virtue, power, and justice, which remain relevant. This work is an important example of Lastman's contribution to Dutch Golden Age painting, influencing contemporaries and later artists, including his most famous pupil, Rembrandt van Rijn.
