Vous aviez faim... ce n'est pas une raison...

This is a monochromatic drawing depicting a courtroom scene. In the image, a judge is shown dozing off in his chair while a man, likely a defendant, stands nearby with a guard behind him. The judge is portrayed reclining with crossed arms, dressed in judicial robes and a hat. The defendant seems to be observing the judge with a skeptical or annoyed expression, standing next to a table cluttered with papers and an inkpot. Behind the judge, there is a sizable empty frame or window. The image includes text at the top and bottom, with the title "Les Gens de Justice" and dialogue suggesting a moral judgment theme.
