This bronze allegorical figure represents Justitia, the Roman goddess of justice, presiding over Frankfurt's historic Römerberg square from atop an ornamental fountain. Cast in darkened bronze with a patina that deepens its solemn presence, the draped female figure holds aloft the scales of justice in her extended right hand while grasping a sword in her left, embodying the dual nature of impartial judgment and righteous authority. Positioned against a striking backdrop of Gothic Revival architecture, the sculpture demonstrates the classical iconography of justice through idealized form and dignified bearing. Commissioned in the early seventeenth century, this work remains one of Frankfurt's most recognizable public monuments, symbolizing the city's legal and civic traditions.
