Pierre-Narcisse Guérin’s Pythagoras or The Earth is Round, c. 1800.

Commenting upon the inspiration for Gobrecht's Liberty, numismatic art scholar Cornelius Vermeule writes, "The motivation for this Roman head of Liberty stems from vast, varied neoclassicism of the Napoleonic era. Typical of the source is a small painting ... by … Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, Pythagoras or The Earth is Round, painted about 1800 .... [On the painting it] is the diademed or coroneted, white-robed, seated female that should attract our attention, for she is related to the heads of Liberty on our 19th century gold ... coinage."
