"Justitia zittend op haar troon" is an engraving by Willem de Broen, dating from c. 1712 - 1715. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess of Justice, Justitia, seated on a throne, blindfolded and holding scales and a sword. Two figures stand on either side of her: a woman holding an olive branch and a man in armor holding a spear. The engraving is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This artwork shows the influence of Baroque art, with its dramatic composition and emphasis on light and shadow.
