The circuit of ordering or attributing works involves many actors: Fine Arts administration, architects, Keepers of the Seals. This diversity is not without problems in this policy translation.

Through works still seen at Place Vendôme and those now preserved elsewhere, the question of Justice’s taste is raised.
