Melencolia I, engraving by Albrecht Dürer
A winged, seated female figure rests her head on her hand amid geometric solids, a sphere, a polyhedron, a sleeping dog, and tools. A bell, hourglass, and magic square hang on the wall beneath a rainbow-like halo over a sea. The black-and-white engraving has dense crosshatching.
