“The Lawyer's Office” is an artwork created by Marinus van Reymerswaele circa 1545. Between 1533 and 1545, Marinus van Reymerswaele made distinctive paintings of lawyers, bankers, and moneychangers which relate to the fundamental changes in the legal and commercial infrastructure in the sixteenth century. While his works are mostly adapted from other artists such as Quentin Massys and Albrecht Dürer, he brought a unique sense of Mannerist caricature and vivid realism. The Lawyer's Office is one of five themes that he painted multiple times throughout his career. A copy of the painting is now in the New Orleans Museum of Art.
