Suspension d'audience (Recess of the Hearing) is a 1914 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a courtroom scene. A judge sits at a desk, wearing a hat and a dark robe. He is looking down, and his face is not clearly visible. There are several other people in the room, but they are not the main focus. The room is dimly lit, with dark shadows on the walls. The artist has used bold lines and dark colors to create a sense of drama and tension. The judge's hat and robe are particularly prominent, and they help to create a sense of authority and power. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Forain, Jean-Louis, who was known for his depictions of everyday life and his use of bold lines and dark colors.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
