This sketch shows three people in a small room. A woman in a fancy dress stands with her arms crossed, looking at a man in a long coat who has his hands in his pockets. Behind them, a portrait of an older woman hangs crookedly on the wall, her face stern and her hands folded. The title at the top, *Les Gens de Justice*, hints this is about people in the legal system. The man’s exaggerated glasses and the woman’s serious look make the scene feel like a joke about courtroom drama. Next, look up lithography to see how this sketch was made.
