I think delicate is the most important reason about this print.
Nine REASON
1) The tools of geometry and architecture surround the figure,unused
2)The 4 times 4 magic square,with the two middle cells of the bottom row giving the date of the engraving:1514. This 4 times 4 magic square, as having traditional magic square rule,it's four quadrant,corners and centers equal the same number,34'which happens to belong to the Fibonacci sequence. 3)The truncated rhombohedron with a faint human skull on it. This shape is now known as Durers solid; over the years, there have been numerous articles disputing the precise shape of this polyhedron 4)The hourglass showing time running out. 5)The empty scale (balance) 6)despondent winged figure of genius. 7)The purse and keys. 8)The beacon and rainbow in the sky. 9)Mathematical knowledge is referenced by the use of the symbols: compass, geometrical solid, magic square, scale, hourglass.
