Interestingly, the artist refers to this statue as La Verit (Truth) on the Palais de Justice in Paris. It is also called Libertas the Roman goddess of liberty, but the painting that inspired it is of La Verit and was painted by Jules Joseph Lefebvre in 1870. Seemingly the titles for the statue are interchangeable. Here is the original painting.This hand crafted brown patina was cast using the "lost wax method." She is mounted on a marble base.
