M. East Courtroom Mural
Van Ingen described what he intended to convey in his painting
behind the bench in the East Courtroom:
I do not know what to call this painting. The figure in back
is a representation of justice who sits waiting to weigh in the
balances of each case. The fore figure is appealing to
persons not in the picture, telling them that justice is to be
done. The judge who sits on that bench is merely a
representative of justice and in the painting I tried to portray
his position toward justice.
