Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Details 432 came from Orazio Gentileschi's Joseph and Potiphar's Wife (c1632) - now showing in the small, revelatory Gentileschi show at the National Gallery. It's a characteristically off-key drama - Joseph striding decisively away from the viewer, straight out the back of the picture; his would-be seductress left empty-handed, stumped, caught in an awkward, quite inarticulate gesture; and that stubborn lump of a bolster, an obstacle, emphatically not human flesh, the emblem of her failure. Today is the show's last day, before it moves to Spain; then the picture will return to its usual home in the Royal Collection at Hampton Court.

The first three correct entries came from: Ruth Falby, Devon; Mark Bunyan, London SW12; and N Carter, Leeds

In which picture by which painter can you find this flapper?

Answers, on a postcard, to arrive by Friday 28 May, to: DETAILS 434, IoS, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL. Three winners will each receive a bottle of champagne
