Justice, Sketch for Wisconsin State Capitol Mosaic

A seated female figure in a flowing red robe and dark mantle holds a balance scale aloft, flanked by two white lion-like sculptures at her feet. She is set within a green laurel wreath inside a decorative spandrel with blue panels, bronze caduceus-like motifs, and a Greek key border on a tan ground.
