The Judges shares many similarities with Le Mendicant, although the latter was painted ten years later than this work. The most obvious comparison is that both works share the medium of pen and ink on paper. Working in pen and ink must have been somewhat of a relief to Dalí after hours of laborious painting, where he would endeavor to create a realistic, almost photographic quality to his images. Here the images are sketched, sometimes detailed and at other points vague, producing more of an insinuation at certain forms than an exact configuration; this can be seen particularly in the image of the figure on horseback.
    Both drawings also share images, such as a figure on horseback and the Classical style of architecture. The two drawings also have the recurring image of the father with the son. The figure on horseback is partly outlined by blobs of ink, which give it an air of heaviness, of importance. The figure seems to be a statue, as it stands upon an obelisk in the square in front of a grand building. The two figures on the side of the building with their arms held victoriously aloft, echo the configuration of the figure on horseback.
