Reproduction of an engraving by Albrecht Dürer depicting a winged woman sitting outside a small building, beside a putto perched on a grindstone leaning against the building's wall. She rests her head in one hand and holds a compass in the other, as a dog sleeps on the ground at her feet. Other tools lie on the ground around them, and a bat carries a banner in the background that reads, "MELENCOLIA I"
