About the work
Museum text in Dutch
Geometria, een vrouw met een stedenkroon op haar hoofd, meet op een globe de afstand tussen twee punten met een passer. Twee mannen kijken met haar mee. Op de grond liggen meetinstrumenten en boeken. Een pad en een slang proberen langs de ronding van de globe omhoog te klimmen. Op de achtergrond ruïnes van antieke gebouwen.
