The Lawyer Feigns Illness, Plate 30 from Les Gens de Justice
A lithograph shows a crowded courtroom seen from behind a dense mass of spectators in dark coats and hats. In the foreground, a tall lawyer in a top hat and cloak looks up toward the bench, where two judges in robes sit beside a standing figure at a lectern. Fine hatching shades the crowd, and a caption appears beneath the scene.
