    This painting, Not Guilty, is super. When I was discussing the Solomon siblings (http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com/2008/12/rebecca-solomon-artist.html), I considered putting in its pair, Waiting for the Verdict.

    Later I found a very interesting discussion (by lawyers, not art historians) in the Not PC blog (http://pc.blogspot.com/2008/08/for-verdict-abraham-solomon.html)

    thanks

    Thank you, I try to feature the Solomon's when I can as I don't think they are as well known as their talent deserves. Thanks for the links.
