This engraving captures a scene from the ancient regime in France during the 16th century, depicting the application of justice by the bailli, or bailiff, who served as the king's administrative representative. The intricate details and dramatic composition transport us back to a time when law and order were enforced with strict authority.
The bailli stands at the center of attention, surrounded by court officials and onlookers, as he delivers a verdict with unwavering determination. His presence exudes power and control, symbolizing the strength of royal authority in maintaining peace and order within society.
The black-and-white aesthetic adds a sense of gravitas to the image, emphasizing the seriousness of legal proceedings during this historical period. Every line and shadow in this engraving tells a story of justice being served in a time when social hierarchy played a crucial role in governing communities.

The bailli's role as an enforcer of law serves as a reminder that justice has always been an integral part of societal structure, shaping our understanding of right and wrong for centuries to come.
