About the work

In the museum's own words — in Dutch

Tegen een achtergrond van klassieke gebouwen meet Geometria een wereldbol met een passer. Op de grond zit een man die, net als Geometria, meetinstrumenten in zijn handen houdt. Een vrouw gebaart richting de gebouwen op de achtergrond. Links staat een kanon, op de grond liggen boeken en een duimstok. Een slang krult zich rondom de wereldbol.
