À la cour d'assises: L'avocat, debout, s'entretenant avec l'accusé 1878

“À la cour d'assises: L'avocat, debout, s'entretenant avec l'accusé” is a lithograph by Burn Smeeton created in 1878. The artwork, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a scene of a lawyer conferring with a defendant in a courtroom setting. The detailed etching portrays the intensity of the legal proceedings, capturing the lawyer's focused gaze and the defendant's contemplative expression. The presence of other figures in the background, including a judge and a witness, adds a sense of realism to the composition. This print, likely intended for a legal or historical publication, highlights the social and legal context of the late 19th century.
