This sketch shows three people in a tight space. A judge in a long robe and tall hat stands with his hands on his chest, looking stern. A smaller figure in a cap and coat walks beside him, holding the judge’s robe. A woman in a simple dress leans forward, reaching up as if talking to the judge. The title written above them means *"You lost your case, that’s true..."*—it’s a scene from a courtroom. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the moment clearly. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
