This work is assumed to be Artemisia Gentileschi's first major painting. She was 17 when she completed it. Perhaps she was inspired by Rubens' painting on the story of Susanna. He also shows how the old man asks Susanna to be quiet.
The work is in the private collection of the Schönborn family. In their Schloss Weissenstein the family keeps a large collection of baroque art.
