Astronomer with Dividers and Globe, Woodcut by Jost Amman, 1568
A bearded man in a long robe leans over a celestial globe in a study, using dividers to mark points on its surface. A second globe and an armillary-like sphere sit on the table, with clouds and a distant building visible through a window at left. The fine parallel line work of the woodcut defines the drapery and the curtain at right.
