Two Mathematicians Argue Over the Solar System, Engraving 1758

An engraving shows a cluttered interior where a seated man in a dark coat beside a dog sits at a table, while men in hats and robes gather around a round sphere on the floor. A man in black at right raises his arm toward a woman in a white gown fleeing through an open door, as a hound watches at far right.
