About the Book

EDITOR'S PICK ON AMAZON.COM 'As captivating and nuanced as the drawings themselves' - The New York Times 'Against the odds, her prose keeps pace with her pastels' - Patrick Bringley, author of All the Beauty in the World 'Readers will be hard-pressed to put this down' - Publisher's Weekly A penetrating, compulsively readable memoir about the four-decade career of a top courtroom sketch artist. Jane Rosenberg is America's pre-eminent courtroom sketch artist. For over forty years, she's been at the heart of the story, covering almost every major trial that has passed through the New York justice system. From mob bosses to fallen titans of finance, terrorists and sex abusers, corrupt cops and warring entertainment icons, she has drawn them all. In Drawn Testimony, Rosenberg brings us into the high-stakes, dramatic world of her craft, where art, psychology and courtroom drama collide. Over the course of her legendary career, Jane has had a front row seat to some of the most iconic and notorious moments in our nation's recent history, sketching everything from Tom Brady's deflate-gate case, to John Lennon's murder trial to cases against Ghislaine Maxwell, John Gotti, Harvey Weinstein and most recently, the indictment against former President Donald Trump. Readers will learn how she has honed her unique powers of perception, but also what her portraits reveal, not only about her subjects, but about the human condition in general. Fearless, fascinating and gorgeously written, Drawn Testimony captures the unique career of an artist whose body of work depicts history as it's happening.

About the Author :
JANE ROSENBERG received a BA in Art from SUNY Buffalo and trained in New York City at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Art. A courtroom sketch artist for major television networks and newspapers since 1980, her work has also appeared in collections throughout the US and abroad, including the National Constitution Center, the Museum of Television and Radio, the National September 11 Memorial Museum and the Library of Congress. In 2023, her drawing of former President Donald Trump became the first courtroom sketch to be featured on the cover of The New Yorker in the magazine's 98-year history.

Review :
'In precise, often lyrical prose, Rosenberg reflects on a career at the intersection of art and law, fact and impression, reason and emotion. As captivating and nuanced as the drawings themselves are the descriptions of her creative process...' 'Rosenberg's fascinating debut offers a front row seat to some of the most high-profile criminal cases of the last four decades...The results thrill without teetering into salaciousness. Readers will be hard-pressed to put this down.' 'A revealing look at an often-overlooked aspect of the legal system... With a cast of characters including John Gotti, Woody Allen, Bernie Madoff, Mark David Chapman, Bill Cosby, Susan Smith, and Tom Brady, and with smart commentary on technique, Rosenberg delivers stories for every true-crime buff-and aspiring courtroom artist.' 'Drawn Testimony is riveting. Through the singular craft that is her life's calling, Rosenberg gives us a front row seat to the most important courtroom trials of our generation.' "An immersive and riveting reading experience. Jane Rosenberg captures moment and mood in her sketches, turning pastel impressions into whole narratives-and, along the way, slyly relating a unique forty-year cultural history of New York City." 'Reading Drawn Testimony is like peering over Jane Rosenberg's shoulder as she deftly captures telling moments from trial after trial. Against the odds, her prose keeps pace with her pastels.' 'The book is beautifully written, and some cases are very interesting indeed. What was more interesting was how she had to fit in with other illustrators in court cases, and about the interplay between the various roles of individuals in court... [It] will enthral those who are fascinated by real crime.'
