The Lady Justice statue ranks as one of the most well known statues in the world. Although, this statue is not typically attributed to any one famous sculptor, the fact that it adorns so many of the world’s courthouses has rendered it one of the more well known sculptures.
While it goes by many names, the most popular are Lady Justice, Scales of Justice, and Blind Justice. The statue dates it origins from ancient Greek and Roman times as the lady represented is Themis, the goddess of justice and law. Well known for her clear sightedness, she typically holds a sword in one hand and scales in the other.
The scales that she holds represent the impartiality with which justice is served and the sword signifies the power that is held by those making the decision. During the 16th century, artists started showing the lady blindfolded to show that justice is not subject to influence. From this, the statue earned the name Blind Justice.
Anazao Galleries is proud to offers these Lady Justice Statues for decorating your home or
office. They remain an especially popular item for decorating the conference
rooms or waiting areas of legal offices.

After six years of study at the Academy and graduating with honor, Sergey was consistently exhibiting his works and received a number of private and public commissions. His works were acquired by private collectors in Russia and Europe. The Russian Ministry of Culture purchased a number of Sergey's sculptures for display in museums.
In 1989 Sergey moved to the United States, though it meant starting his career in art over again. After a brief stint working in a Manhattan print shop, Sergey began working at a company which specialized in commercial reproduction and mass production of famous classic and contemporary sculpture. At the same time, Sergey was working as much as possible on his original bronze sculptures, paintings and drawings, showing them at the various exhibitions.
In the mid '90's , as he continued to create and exhibit his bronzes, for several years Sergey also experimented with casting his works in acrylic. In 2004, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chose Sergey's cast acrylic sculpture "Five Continents" as the first place winner in Olympic Art and Sport Contest 2004. In 2002 Sergey's acrylic sculpture was chosen to commemorate the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
Currently, Sergey lives on Long Island, New York. He is well-known, received numerous awards, and continues to create and exhibit his works, many of which can be found in public and private collections in the United States, Europe and Russia.
