This sketch shows four men in fancy old-timey clothes, walking together. They’re wearing tall hats, long coats, and one guy has a cane. Their faces look serious or maybe annoyed, and they’re all turned slightly toward each other like they’re talking. The drawing is black and white, with quick, sketchy lines. The title at the top, *Les Gens de Justice*, means “People of Justice,” so these might be judges or lawyers. The text below is in French and sounds sarcastic, like they’re complaining about losing a case. Next, check out lithography to see how this sketch was made.
