William Sharp – “The Jury Room” – Original Lithograph, Framed (c. mid-20th century, 14” x 18”)

This original lithograph by William Sharp (1900–1961), a renowned illustrator and courtroom artist, captures the intensity and drama of deliberation inside a crowded jury room. With his keen eye for expression and gesture, Sharp presents a compelling narrative scene — jurors leaning in, debating, smoking, sipping coffee, and wrestling with the weight of justice.

William Sharp, born Leon Schleifer, was a Hungarian-American artist best known for his editorial cartoons, illustrations, and courtroom sketches during the 1940s–50s. His works often appeared in newspapers and magazines, blending social commentary with sharp detail and a bold illustrative style.

This lithograph is signed in the plate by the artist in the lower right corner. Measuring 14” x 18” in frame, it is presented in its original vintage matting and black wood frame, ready to hang.

A fine example of Sharp’s distinctive style, this piece appeals to collectors of courtroom art, historical illustration, and mid-20th century Americana.
