Public Minister Addresses a Defendant, Les Gens de Justice No. 21
A lithograph of a robed magistrate standing at a courtroom bar, turning his head toward a seated figure in the foreground who leans on the rail. A stack of papers rests on the ledge, and a spectator in a bench sits at left. Dense hatched linework renders the dark robes and crowded background.
