This engraving by German artist Georg Pencz, titled *Copy of Geometria,* depicts a female figure representing Geometry. She sits by a column, holding a drawing, while a putto studies geometry tools. The image is characteristic of the 16th century, when artists were fascinated by the fusion of art and science, and the use of perspective and proportion became central to visual representation. The work is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
