Elizabeth Williams was the eyes of the public throughout Ghislaine Maxwell’s monthlong sex-trafficking trial.
There, the judge had barred media from the courtroom, so Williams was forced to draw the R&B singer and witnesses off monitors in an overflow room, where she said everything was blurry and “the judge's head was the size of a dime.” At the Manhattan federal courthouse, in contrast, Williams was seated close enough to Maxwell to hear her speak French to her siblings.
Here, Williams takes the AP through her sketchpad, coloring in the key moments of Maxwell's trial with her behind-the-scenes observations:Williams prefers a wall between herself and subjects: “I don’t like to become friendly with anybody I’m drawing. I’m looking at them as they’re a news story to me and I want them to stay that way.”
Williams said Maxwell would occasionally purposefully pose, something that actually served the artist's purposes. To capture the often emotional testimony, Williams looked elsewhere: “Everybody’s faces are shaped differently. Some faces are more angular, some people’s faces are more round. Jane’s face was certainly rounder than Kate. And Carolyn’s face was more square.”Jane wasn't that animated while testifying about how Epstein grabbed her, Williams said.
The photographs were shown for what seemed like a maximum of seven seconds, “meaning I’m drawing like the wind.”
