At Trump’s Fraud Trial, a Courtroom Artist With a Different View

"... But several courtroom artists — an anachronistic group that continues to use chalky pastels to draw scenes from camera-free courtrooms to sell to TV stations and newspapers — were on it, erasing Mr. Trump’s pupils from their sketches. 'He’s nodding off!' the artist Isabelle Brourman whispered to a colleague. Ms. Brourman, a 30-year-old newcomer, was not part of the dwindling coterie of commercial courtroom artists who make their livings selling cinematic, sometimes vaguely expressionistic trial drawings to news outlets. She is there for a different kind of art project: A mixed media artist, she has found herself drawn to big trials... " 


Ms. Brourman collapses different scenes from the trial into panorama-like drawings, with many of the key figures plainly visible. Some of her sketches show Justice Arthur F. Engoron, who is presiding over the case; Mr. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen; and Mr. Trump’s daughter Ivanka.
