I never previously put two and two together, but check out some of the names of sculptors whose works are a part of that building:
| Quote: |
| On either side of the main steps are seated marble figures. These large statues are the work of sculptor James Earle Fraser. On the left is a female figure, the Contemplation of Justice. On the right is a male figure, the Guardian or Authority of Law. |
| Quote: |
Overhead, along all four sides of the Chamber, are sculpted marble panels, the work of Adolph A. Weinman.

You'll find that many of our coin designers are first sculptors, second coin designers. St. Gaudens, Brenner, etc..

I knew they were sculptors, but I didn't realize their work was on the Supreme Court building.
