My original tumblr post was here. This is an illustration from Benjamin Dewey’s Tragedy Series. Its caption reads “”Tragedy #204: Great thinker’s beauty often overshadows her brilliant work.” This image was first posted on Dewey’s tumblr with the comment

Do You know a ravishing scientist who deserves more attention for her mathematical derivations than for her aesthetic wonders? Show her you understand how vexing the veil of comeliness can be when it masks an equally exquisite brain for which no one shows a primary concern! This illustration is available as a keepsake from my emporium.

You can also buy the Tragedy Series as a book from Amazon here. I have, and it’s terrific: poignant and funny and sometimes just a little dark.
