Roualt, Georges. Juge (Chapon e Rouault 289). (1871-1958) Important and significant French artist of the first half of the 20th Century. Georges Roualt captured faces of his fellow citizens on the fringes of French Society particularly those of dance hall women, prostitutes, and circus performers, specifially clowns. He also made several important paintings of judges which expressed his skepticism and criticism of the systems in place for justice. "If I have made judges such lamentable figures, it is doubtless because I betrayed the anguish which I feel at the sight of a human being who has to pass judgment on other men. The judges themselves I could not condemn."

Art was originally over ten years ago but has been removed from aging frame and glass with artwork still professionally affixed at outermost edges to mat for protection with a more recent addition of clean acid free panel to protect the back. 13 x 10" is in excellent condition with no issues.
