This sculpture was created by Jules Dalou, a renowned French sculptor celebrated for his exceptional talent as one of the most brilliant artists of 19th-century France. His work is distinguished by its thought-provoking insight, meticulous craftsmanship, and refreshingly honest realism. The statue depicts Justice draped in a cloak with her back turned towards truth and vice versa, showcasing Dalou's masterful skill. Interestingly, some of his wife's characteristics were used as inspiration when modeling Justice.
