“I’m basically the substitute camera.” Courtroom artist Elizabeth Williams was the eyes of the public throughout Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial, producing around 100 sketches of testimony, jurors, the judge and above all, the defendant herself.

Williams said Maxwell was keenly aware of the artists, but it wasn’t initially clear what exactly the defendant was up to on her own pad of paper. Even once Williams discovered the defendant was drawing the artists, she stayed on her side of the divide, doing her own sketch of Maxwell at work but unbothered.
The dynamic continued through the last day of the trial, when Maxwell seemed buoyed by a jury note hours before the verdict. An FBI analyst’s testimony yielded one of the more bizarre images from the trial, as prosecutors displayed a photograph the analyst had found that appeared to show Maxwell massaging Epstein’s foot with her breasts.“I have to tell you the truth. When I saw that, I was so focused on getting it down, I thought, I can’t, I couldn’t focus on her. I had to focus on drawing this thing,” she said.
