The monochromatic print, dating back to around 1460-70, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Italian artistic school during the Renaissance period. The composition of the image is centered around a circle, symbolizing the infinite and perfect form, encompassing various shapes and figures.

The allegorical figures of Geometry are depicted as a pregnant woman, symbolizing the fertile and creative power of the mathematical concept. She is surrounded by health and prosperity, represented by a landscape teeming with lush greenery and a bountiful harvest. This engraving, part of the Tarocchi or Tarocco deck, was a popular pastime in Italy during the fifteenth century.
