"Susanna and the Elders" is an 1856 painting by the French artist Théodore Chassériau, who was a prominent figure in the Romantic movement and is often associated with both Neoclassicism and Romanticism. The painting depicts the biblical story of Susanna, a virtuous young wife who is accosted by two lecherous elders while she bathes in her garden. According to the Book of Daniel, the elders threaten to accuse Susanna of adultery with a young man if she does not submit to their desires. Susanna refuses and is subsequently brought to trial, but her innocence is eventually proven by the young prophet Daniel.

Chassériau's interpretation of the subject is notable for its sensual portrayal of Susanna and the psychological tension between the characters. The painting reflects the artist's mastery of the human form, as well as his ability to convey complex narratives through composition and the interplay of gazes. The work is imbued with a sense of voyeurism, as Susanna is unaware of the elders' presence, highlighting themes of innocence, virtue, and the abuse of power.

"Susanna and the Elders" is considered one of Chassériau's significant works and is often discussed in the context of his oeuvre as an example of his skill in handling historical and mythological subjects. The painting is part of the collection of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
