4. What I caught my eye first was the mirror

behind Sotomayor and Kagan, and how it reflected a full bookcase across the room... Plus the attempt to "balance" to composition due to their justices' staggered positioning, by having that red pillow and books next to O'Connor. You could basically divide up the canvas into 4 quarters (although I don't know if that AP photo includes the whole frame of the portrait). The window that you're talking about is very old-fashioned, looking out to a large foyer, so I thought it was interesting but did not pay much attention to the decorative containers thinking that this may have been done from both sketches of the women in position and photos of just the room (including the view through the window that may have been like that).
