Jane Rosenberg has been sketching New York courtrooms for four decades, and her newest subject was former Pres. Donald Trump, whose arraignment in Manhattan provided her the opportunity to draw two viral sketches of the defendant.

"My hands are just flying," Rosenberg said of the time sketching Trump. "My fingers were going faster than my brain, and then it was over." In courtrooms where photography is prohibited, artists offer the public a way to see inside court proceedings, selling the right to their art to media outlets for a profit. Rosenberg learned about courtroom sketches during a lecture, then made her way to court with some lawyer friends from college to try the artform.A week later, Rosenberg was sitting in the jury box of a Manhattan courtroom to sketch a defendant during an arraignment.
While Trump was not arrested that Tuesday, his indictment came a week later on March 30, followed by an arraignment on April 4. "When I first arrived, there were the most court officers I've ever seen in the courtroom ever," she said, though she noted that the courtroom itself was as "quiet as could be" during the actual arraignment.
