Iusticia (Justice)

About this work

The painting depicts a nude woman seated on a bench, with her left leg crossed over her right. She is holding a scale in her left hand and a sword in her right. The woman's hair is styled in a braid, and she is facing to the right. The background of the painting is a landscape with buildings and trees. The woman's pose and the objects she is holding suggest that she is a symbol of justice. The scale and sword are traditional symbols of justice, and the woman's nude form may represent purity and fairness. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Master IB, who was known for his engravings during the Renaissance period.
