Study for Mosaic: Justice, Wisconsin State Capitol

A seated female figure in a red and dark mantle holds a balance scale in each hand, centered within a gold-ground roundel. The roundel is framed by a dark band with a classical leaf pattern and geometric borders on a pale ground. The word "JUSTICE" appears in the gold field, and the design is rendered in oil with a muted, decorative palette.
