"Sublime doesn't really do this woman justice."

What does Philip mean by this?
This is correct. In this context, the idiom "to do justice" means to treat or consider accurately or fairly. Example: To do Brian justice, he is the best special assistant I have ever had. Philip thinks that the word "sublime" is not the most positive description of Florence. "Sublime" means "perfect", "magnificent", or "superb".
This is not correct. The term "justice" is used figuratively in this expression and has no link with the legal system.
This is incorrect. The idiom "to do justice" can mean to show appreciation, as in the example: I hope I do justice to my teacher by getting an excellent mark in the exam. However Philip uses the idiom in a different way.
This is not correct. On the contrary, Philip thinks that Florence is very sublime, and that the word "sublime" is not strong enough to word to describe her.
