Jurors Listening to Counsel, Supreme Court, New City Hall, New York

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black-and-white drawing of a crowded courtroom scene. In the foreground, a low railing runs across the image, separating the viewer from a group of seated men. The men on the side of the viewer are in formal, dark clothing; their backs are turned. The men on the opposite side are variously engaged; most are looking at a man standing on the left; one man reads a document; one man smokes a pipe; many have their chins resting on their hands; the men are formally dressed; several have mustaches. On the left side of the image, a man stands before the group, holding papers; a man sits behind him at a desk; to the right are two large windows. The room has vertical wood paneling on the walls.
