Here’s a woman in a long robe, holding a sword and scales. Her eyes are covered with a blindfold. This sketch was a study for a fresco in the Palazzo del Te, a fancy palace in Italy. The blindfold isn’t about blindness—it’s a symbol that justice should be fair, not swayed by looks or status. Giulio Romano planned every detail of the palace, down to the smallest decorations. To see how he turned sketches into full murals, look up *sfumato*.
