A Witness in the Box at Thèrèse Humbert's Trial.
Ordre des avocats de Paris . 1903. Pencil drawing, 35,5x27cm.
From one courtroom to another, the witness box can change in appearance and each witness who testifies is a new subject for the artist. This was drawn over a century ago, but the expression of this ephemeral player in the judicial theatre is still typical of our times: in front of judge and jury, one must tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!. © Ordre des avocats de Paris
