This engraving, titled "Titelblad: "Justitia"", was created by Georg Fahrenholtz in 1783. It depicts the Roman goddess of justice, Justitia, standing in front of a pillar adorned with symbols of law, including a book, scales, and a sword. The image, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the neoclassical artistic style prevalent in the 18th century. Fahrenholtz's meticulous detail in rendering Justitia's draped form and the intricate symbols on the pillar reflect the influence of classical sculpture and the emphasis on reason and order during this period.
