Summary
It shows Pacioli standing behind a table and wearing the habit of a member of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franciscan" class="extiw" title="w:Franciscan">Franciscan</a> order. He draws a construction on a board, the edge of which bears the name Euclides. His left hand rests upon a page of an open book. This book may be his Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalità or a copy of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid" class="extiw" title="w:Euclid">Euclid</a>. Upon the table rest the instruments of a mathematician: a sponge, a protractor, a pen, a case, a piece of chalk, and compasses. In the right corner of the table there is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dodecahedron" class="extiw" title="w:dodecahedron">dodecahedron</a> resting upon a book bearing Pacioli's initials. An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/rhombicuboctahedron" class="extiw" title="w:rhombicuboctahedron">rhombicuboctahedron</a> (a convex solid consisting of 18 squares and 8 triangles) suspends at the left of the painting. The identity of the young man at the right is uncertain, but one commentator recognizes the “eternal student" instructed by Pacioli. Some authors have also mentioned the possibility that the student is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durer" class="extiw" title="w:Durer">Durer</a>.
