A Conference of Lawyers
Gabriel de Saint-Aubin French
Not on view
Saint-Aubin’s expansive interests included a fascination with all types of science and learning. In this late etching, he portrayed lawyers in dark robes solemnly gathered around a candlelit table, listening, presumably, to a paper being read. Presiding over the scene, and dwarfing the flesh-and-blood figures below, are personifications of the guiding forces of the legal profession: Justice, Eloquence, and Truth.
