Justice

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a woman standing tall in a long, flowing dress. She holds a sword in one hand and a set of scales in the other, with a blindfold over her eyes. Her hair is styled high, and she stands against a dark, cloudy background. The title at the bottom reads *"Justice,"* which fits the symbols she carries. This kind of image was often used to represent fairness and law. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
