In this panoramic room, we see an artist deeply engrossed in his work, diligently drawing a nude model with unwavering concentration. Durer's mastery of perspective and mathematical proportions is evident through the technique displayed here. The woodcut reveals an intricate grid device that he designed to precisely map the perspective and proportions of his subject.

Their collaboration showcases not only their technical expertise but also their dedication to creating art that reflects human form with accuracy and precision. This historical artwork offers us a glimpse into both the artistic process and scientific methodology employed by Durer.
