AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offset printing of one of the most famous works by Maurits Cornelis Escher: Drawing Hands from 1948.

Format: 55 × 65 cm
Printed on 180 g/m² matte paper – clean, high-contrast reproduction with clear line work.
Copyright: The M.C. Escher Company, Baarn (NL)
Country of origin: Netherlands

The motif belongs to Escher’s most iconic works: Two hands drawing each other, creating a visual paradox – typical of his exploration of self-reference, infinity and perception.

Escher moves between art and mathematics – and that is exactly what makes his works timeless. What at first glance seems almost like graphic playfulness reveals surprising depth upon closer look.
“Drawing Hands” today counts among his best-known motifs and is hard to imagine 20th-century visual culture without it.

Condition: very good (with slight bumps along the edge of the sheet, see photos as part of the description)

Shipping: careful, insured shipping
