Two earlier Escher pictures that feature stairs are House of Stairs and Relativity.

Ascending and Descending is a lithograph finished in March 1960, depicting an abstract theme with a never-ending staircase on top of a large building. Painted completely in a monochromatic artistic vision, the large building is merely a distraction from the impossible squares on top of the roof. The squared shaped stairs loop is filled with identically dressed men.
