Légende

Waiting for the Verdict, 1859. A distraught family waits outside a courtroom for the verdict to exonerate their loved one. The red-robed judge presiding over the case is visible through the door in the background, above the sombre lawyers in white wigs. Each family member expresses a different degree of anxiety and anticipation: the father of the accused covers his eyes in despair while the young woman in the centre glances expectantly over her shoulder to the courtroom. Even the family dog is present and faithfully waits for his master.
