Justice

Barthélemy Prieur

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman standing in a relaxed pose. She is holding a branch with leaves in her right hand, and the other hand rests on the hilt of a sheathed sword that is upright against her chest. She is dressed in a tight-fitting collared shirt with large buttons over a flowing skirt with a long slit. Her hair is up on her head and adorned with a wreath or crown-like detail, and her expression is neutral as she looks off to the right. The sculpture is made of a white material, and there is a small square base.
