Item Description
This is a rare find. This beautifully framed print is a replica of artwork by Violet Oakley who painted this mural over the fifth of seven judges seats in the Supreme Court chamber in the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.
In 1902 Violet Oakley was the first woman artist to receive a large commission for adorning a capitol building in the United States. Though it was not known at the time, Oakley would become the principal artist for the largest amount of murals in the Pennsylvania Capitol.
