Description

Susanna and the Elders-Aleksei Egorovich Egorov-Early 19th Century Lithograph after etching An early 19th-century lithographic facsimile of Susanna and the Elders after an etching by Russian artist Aleksei Egorovich Egorov. The composition depicts the biblical episode of Susanna confronted by the two elders. The sheet is a lithographic reproduction of an original intaglio print with a simulated surrounding the image. Another impression of this composition is preserved in the National Art Museum of Moldova (inv. RP-10874). Aleksei Egorovich Egorov (1776–1851) was a Russian Neoclassical painter and draughtsman who studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg and later worked in Rome. He became particularly known for religious and historical compositions distinguished by strong academic figure drawing and classical influence. Poor condition.
