Female Scientist (Women in Science and Technology) Metal Ornament

This design features artwork by the Swiss artist Eugène Grasset (1845–1917). It contains a striking image of an elegant red-haired woman: she represents the importance of knowledge, learning and science. The young woman is holding a large compass, a mathematical tool, in one hand and an orb, which represents power and influence over the world, in her other hand. The woman is wearing a beautiful green dress and strong red boots. She is confident and wise, which makes her a perfect figurehead and role model for women in science and technology. The artwork is in a classic art-nouveau style.
