The engraving represents an imaginary scene: a large building for judges and jurors and a large square for the people. Two diagonals are opposed, one architectural, the other psychological. That justice should treat people fairly and with respect for human dignity goes without saying but it is the often excessive waiting for judgment that is painful. This depends not only on the written rules but also on the good will of men. The urban landscape, with the use of an Oxford paper background, appears delicate.
