About this work
The astronomer and mathematician Samuel Vince sits behind his writing desk in his study at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. Various publications of his are scattered around the room. A clock and a print of the transit of Venus hang on the wall, and a globe stands in the cabinet. In the foreground, a emaciated cat walks.
