About this work

An unbridled horse with a globe on its head rears up and throws the blindfolded Justice (Justitia), who was sitting on its back backwards, to the ground. In the hands of Justice her attributes: scales and sword. The print is part of a four-part series where the world is represented as an unbridled horse.
