Allegory of Justice, Sanctity of Law, plate 12 from Thrones of Justice
An engraving showing a crowded classical hall with columns and a raised platform, where robed figures gather around a central scene of officials and soldiers. A dense Latin inscription runs along the lower margin beneath the plate. Fine parallel hatching models the architecture, drapery, and figures in tonal shadow.
