About the piece
Painted in 1897, this work by French artist Henri Martin captures the allegory of Justice with a distinct Post-Impressionist sensibility. Dressed in a majestic red robe lined with ermine and crowned with a golden laurel, the figure holds the traditional scales while contemplating a stone tablet of law. Martin's signature divisionist style creates a shimmering, atmospheric effect that elevates this classical subject into a sophisticated modern masterpiece.
