In the context of this artwork, analyze the Subject matter of the Description.

The painting is a representation of a biblical narrative featured in chapter 13 of the Book of Daniel according to the text as maintained by the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, although not generally by Protestants.
Two elderly men are shown spying on a young married woman named Susanna. Susanna had gone out to the garden one day to bathe when her housekeeper let the two elders in. The elders spied on Susanna, and then demanded sexual favors from her, which she refused. The men threatened to ruin her reputation, but Susanna held fast. The two elders then falsely accused Susanna of adultery – a crime that was punishable by death. When Daniel, a wise young Hebrew man, questioned them separately, details in the two elders' stories did not match. Their conflicting stories revealed the falsehood of their testimony, thus clearing Susanna's name.The subject was relatively common in European art from the 16th century, with Susanna exemplifying the virtues of modesty and fidelity. In practice however, it allowed artists the opportunity to display their skill in the depiction of the female nude, often for the pleasure of their male patrons.
