"Quadrant" is a brass quadrant, a tool used for measuring angles, created by Dutch artist Jan Marten Kleman between 1793 and 1808. It is a delicate and precise instrument, a testament to the precision of 18th century craftsmanship. The quadrant's design and construction highlight the artist's skill in combining practicality and aesthetic appeal. This piece is a valuable example of scientific instruments that are also considered art, and represents the intersection of art, science, and technology.
