brooklynmuseum: Justice is here! This portrait of the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg came into the Museum’s collection this year as a gift from the sitter herself. In the painting, Ginsburg appears with a calm yet determined gaze—perhaps a reflection of her stalwart position supporting gender equality, reproductive justice, and LGBTQ+ rights. Displayed in the institution that Ginsburg used to frequent as a child, this work celebrates her prominence as a Brooklyn native, iconic American figure, and integral voice on the nation’s highest court. See it now on view in our fifth floor American art galleries. Constance P. Beaty (American). Large Oil Sketch: Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, circa 2015-2016. Oil on linen.
