ProvenanceLes Gens de Justice is one of Daumier’s more popular series. It consists of 41 lithographs and deals with the caricaturist’s dislike of the judicial system (due to his firsthand experience with censorship). In Mr. le juge de paix a rendu sa décision..., one of the non-political prints in the series, two women are still arguing about their case after the judge has given his decision. The judge calmly looks at the women who cannot believe that the verdict called for the reconciliation of the two sides.
