Contemplation of Justice
by James Earle Frazer
The female figure seated to the left of the main staircase, Contemplation of Justice, complements Fraser's work, Authority of Law, on the opposite side. He described this figure as sitting in an "attitude... of meditation" while under her left hand rests a book of laws and her right hand "rests on a small model of a figure of Justice." In this work, Fraser captures the essence of the act each judge undertakes in deciding cases. |
