Although the correspondences and datings are not always exact, it is clear that these drawings are related to Rembrandt’s work on the theme of Susanna and the elders in his paintings of 1636 in The Hague (Bredius 505) and of 1647 in Berlin (Bredius 516). The Corpus of Rembrandt paintings, vol. 3, under nr. A 117, considers the evidence for a tie of the first three of the drawings to the earlier painting too slight to be acknowledged.
