Yeah, oddly enough given the circumstances.
Rosenberg says it’s not the first time this happens. In her 40-year-plus career as a courtroom artist, she’s caught herself being drawn twice before: during the 1987 trial of actor Eddie Murphy and in the much more recent trial of Lev Parnas, convicted of campaign finance violations this October.
“When it first happened, I was like, what’s going on? Why are people sketching me? In Parnas’s trial, the co-defendant was sketching me madly,” Rosenberg told Hyperallergic. Maxwell, who was drawing Rosenberg during pretrial, “still makes eye contact and nods her head” at the artist everyday, she added.
When asked how she feels about being the subject of Maxwell’s artwork, Rosenberg said, “I’ve got enough of her drawings, so it’s not even close to being even.”
As a jury of 12 hears arguments to determine whether Maxwell was Epstein’s accomplice or a pawn in his crimes, Rosenberg’s sketch of the disgraced socialite mirroring the artist is causing a stir online, with some calling it “creepy” and “horrific.”
“I love this/hate this, because it’s a perfect portrait of a person who is used to having power over other people, trying to hold on to a vestige of that power,” Twitter user @Tom_S_Juniper said. The initial post, shared by @DJWillMartin, now has over 40,000 likes.
