This bronze sculpture, titled *Architecture (or Geometry)* by Giambologna, portrays a female figure embodying the principles of architecture and geometry. The figure, crafted in the late 16th century, is depicted seated, resting her weight on a cube-shaped pedestal. Her pose reflects the classical beauty and idealized forms that characterized the Mannerist period, during which Giambologna was a prominent figure. The sculpture, now residing at the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst) in Copenhagen, continues to inspire viewers with its meticulous detail and symbolic representation of intellectual pursuits.
