Geometry

About this work

This engraving shows two figures in a dim room. One sits on a curved bench, half-naked, holding a scroll and pointing at a small box on the floor. The other, a boy, leans over a table, drawing with a tool. Around them lie odd shapes: a cube, a pyramid, and a strange, rounded object. The walls are lined with patterned tiles, and a window lets in faint light. The title *Geometry* hints this isn’t just a random scene—it’s a puzzle about math and learning. The figures might stand for ideas, not real people, and the tools suggest measuring or teaching. Try looking up engraving to see how artists like Pencz carved these details into metal.
