Allegory of Geometry: Figures Measuring a Globe, 1565 Engraving
An engraving of an allegory of geometry: a bare-chested bearded man bends over a large globe while a woman wearing a towered headdress rests a compass on it. Behind them a second man peers over, and a snake, a frog, a book and measuring tools lie in the foreground beside a ruined arch.
