De Billijkheid 1747

"De Billijkheid" (Fairness) is a 1747 drawing by Dutch artist Louis Fabritius Dubourg (1693-1775). The artwork is a representation of Justice, an allegorical figure, holding a scale, symbolizing impartiality. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman in a peaceful setting with a background of foliage, suggesting a connection with nature and justice. This finely crafted drawing is a testament to Dubourg's skill and his artistic exploration of classical themes. The careful rendering of the figure and the detailed landscape create a sense of realism, making it a compelling example of 18th-century Dutch art.
