This painting, Justice of Brutus, shows a busy scene with many people. In the center, a man in a pink robe stands on steps, with a crowd around him. Some people are holding weapons, and others are on the ground. The background has columns and buildings. In the foreground, a woman in a blue dress is reaching out to the man in pink. The colors are muted, with lots of earth tones. The overall mood is one of chaos and tension. If you want to learn more about this style of painting, look up the technique of fresco.
