This small, detailed drawing by Antoni van Leest, a Dutch painter and draughtsman, depicts the personification of Justice, also known as Justitia. She stands on a stage and is blindfolded, holding a sword and scales. The stage has a red curtain and is framed by ornate columns and a blank coat of arms. The image reflects the common representation of Justice as a blindfolded figure upholding the balance of the law. This image is a small illustration, possibly from a larger publication, showcasing the artistic style of the late 16th century.
