From Gemäldegalerie, Berlin:
The original inspiration for the work was a drawing he made after a painting by his teacher, Pieter Lastman. He made more studies at each stage of the pentimenti (alterations to the composition). During this time, the story of Susanna was also a subject in his workshop as a whole, as seen in numerous depictions of her in drawings by his pupils.
