The picture has something of this: justice, law, offense, judge, court, judgment, authority, punishment, hammer, trial, legal, lawyer, auction, gavel, tribunal, courthouse, equality, still life, judicial.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a desk with a notepad, pen, inkwell, and a candle on top of a marble slab of paper.
