Large Oil Sketch: Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
ca. 2015-2016
Constance P. Beaty
American
Contemporary Art
In this painting, Ruth Bader Ginsburg appears with a calm yet determined gaze—perhaps a reflection of her stalwart position supporting gender equality, reproductive justice, and LGBTQ rights. Constance Peck Beaty also painted Ginsburg’s official portrait, which today hangs in the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C.
A frequent visitor to the Brooklyn Museum as a child, Ginsburg gifted this work to the collection in 2019.
