Description
A courtroom scene rendered in bold black, white, and yellow woodblock tones: a robed judge or barrister in the foreground gestures with an open hand toward a jury box packed with women in period hats and pearls, all facing forward with solemn expressions. High-contrast graphic shading and stark silhouettes against pale architectural columns give the composition a tense, theatrical mood. William Evertson, "Brett's Nightmare: A Jury of His Peers," 2024, color woodblock.
