The theme of Susanna and the Elders was particularly suited to Pinturicchio's decorative sensibilities, resulting in a pleasing, fable-like environment for the biblical account. The two lecherous old men grab the maiden who stands in front of a fountain, the lower part of which is similar to that in the Baptistery of Siena. In the foreground are animals, including several rabbits, symbolic of lust.
