New York Magazine's Intelligencer reported that Jane Rosenberg has been drawing the likeness of people in court for over 40 years.
She wakes up at 4 a.m. to get a seat with an unobstructed view of the courtroom and use her prescription binoculars in proceedings with limited seating.
The outlet reported that when drawing anonymous juries or witnesses, Rosenberg hides their faces to obscure their likeness. She has been able to draw faceless subjects because of the high-profile cases she has covered.
Ghislaine Maxwell's trial on charges of sex trafficking was held in a courtroom sketch in New York City.
Jane Rosenberg.
Users noticed that the courtroom artist had drawn the sketch of the accused sex trafficker, and it went viral.
She sketched me a few times. She nodded at me and waved at me. She spoke to me once. It's great for me. I'm not going to ruin it. I'm going to keep going. I need to see her face. They wait for that moment and say someone's name and then turn to them.
When asked if she intended to depict Maxwell as evil, she said that wasn't her intention. I have this thing going. She's my sketching partner.
