Depicts an episode from the Old Testament apocrypha (Susannah: 15-24).

She refuses and is falsely accused by them, but her innocence is proved and prevents her from being stoned. Painted in Rome for the Facchinetti family (who were aligned by marriage to the Pamphilj family) . It was once attributed to Domenichino.
