Who sues for a cow
1629
Cornelis Saftleven turns the legal system upside down in this 1629 satire, where animals have taken over a lawyer's office to settle their own disputes. A monkey dressed as a notary sits at a desk diligently taking notes, while a dog in a red coat and a bird-headed figure wait their turn with legal papers in hand. Meanwhile, cows and sheep wander freely across the floor, creating a chaotic courtroom atmosphere that pokes fun at human bureaucracy. It's a clever visual joke suggesting that lawyers might be just as beastly as the creatures they represent!
