Photograph of a marble statue representing the biblical figure of Susanna. She is depicted as a seated female figure, unclothed but partially covered by a drapery. The drapery covers the seat on which she is seated.  She rests her right foot on the lower of the two steps in front of her, and her left foot on the upper one. She clasps her left shin with her left hand while her right hand holds the drapery against her chest. The sculpture is by Galli and was exhibited at the Great Exhibition.

This photograph is from Volume IV (RCIN 2800003) of ' Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, 1851: Reports by the Juries on the Subjects in the Thirty Classes into which the Exhibition was Divided'. The incredibly successful Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, commonly known as the Great Exhibition, ran from May to October 1851. At the exhibition's conclusion, over 100 copies of the four volume 'Reports by the Juries' were distributed to foreign governments and notable participants. The reports consist of the juries' comments and assessments of the works displayed in the exhibition. The idea and decision to illustrate the reports with photographs is attributed to Prince Albert (1819-61).
