Advocaat met klanten voor de rechtbank 1909

"Advocaat met klanten voor de rechtbank" (Lawyer with Clients Before the Court) is an etching created in 1909 by French artist Jean-Louis Forain. Known for his satirical depictions of Parisian society, Forain captured a scene of courtroom drama. The composition, rendered in subtle, nuanced lines, portrays a lawyer engrossed in his work while his clients, a woman and a child, anxiously await the outcome. The artwork reflects Forain's signature style, using expressive line work and a focus on the human condition, particularly the complexities of social interactions and justice.
