Description from the seller

Author: Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972)
Title: Magic Mirror (1946)
Size: 55 x 65cm
Copyright: The M.C. Escher Company - Baarn - The Netherlands.
Offset print, made on 180g matt paper. Displays a vivid and sharp image quality.
Just the right size to frame. Impressive effect when framed.
Shipping in a rigid tube via certified express mail.
It is possible to collect more than one object, from the same auction, in the same shipment.

Magic Mirror is one of Escher’s most mind-bending works, full of optical illusions and infinite patterns. In the image, strange creatures seem to emerge from a mirror, coming to life from their own reflection. It’s a perfect example of his fascination with symmetry and impossible worlds!
Escher became obsessed with geometric patterns after visiting the Alhambra in 1922. The intricate Islamic designs he saw there inspired him to play with perception and impossible shapes. In Magic Mirror, he takes this idea to another level, turning reflections into living figures in a way that feels almost magical!
