More about this artwork

"A Good Beginning" (1899) is a captivating illustration by Udo Keppler that vividly captures themes of justice, enlightenment, and political awareness at the turn of the 20th century. In this vibrant artwork, we see a figure emblematic of Justice, sitting with a composed and reflective demeanor on a classical stone chair. Her blindfold and the scales, classical attributes of the figure of Justice, are prominently displayed, symbolizing impartiality and balance.Beside her, a young boy eagerly holds up a scroll, which suggests a list of political or social demands or declarations, indicative of public cries for reform or change. The presence of iconic international structures like the Parthenon and the Eiffel Tower in the background subtly underlines the global context of the message, possibly hinting at the universal desire for justice and democratic rights during this era.
