Monument in zilver voorstellend Vrouwe Justitia op een sokkel omgeven door engelen c. 1862 - 1889

This photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Albert Greiner between 1862 and 1889, depicts a silver monument of the Roman goddess Justitia, the personification of justice, standing on a pedestal surrounded by angels. The monument is a small-scale work, only 87 mm high and 56 mm wide, yet it conveys a sense of grandeur. Greiner’s photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the intricate details of the sculpture and highlights the symbolism associated with Justitia, a figure often depicted holding scales and a sword, representing balance and authority. This photograph is a testament to the artistic craftsmanship of the 19th century and provides valuable insights into the visual representations of justice in Dutch culture.
