Summary
| Description |
The sculpture Justice and History is located above the Senate bronze doors on the U.S. Capitol's East Front. The draped female figures of Justice and History recline against a globe. Justice holds a book inscribed "Justice / Law / Order" in her left hand; her right hand rests on a pair of scales. History holds a scroll inscribed "History / July / 1776." American sculptor Thomas Crawford, working in his studio in Rome, created Justice and History for the extension of the Capitol. The sculpture arrived at the Capitol in early 1860 and was kept in the former Hall of the House of Representatives until the exterior of the Senate extension was ready to receive it.
