The Witch, circa 1893. Illustration by John Maler Collier (1850–1934).

Hand with Reflecting Sphere, circa 1935. Illustration by M. C. Escher (1898–1972).

In this remarkable lithograph, Escher depicts his own reflection in a mirrored sphere held delicately in his hand. The curved surface captures the artist seated in his study, surrounded by books, furniture and architectural details, all distorted by the sphere’s perspective. A masterful exploration of perception, geometry and self-reflection, the work remains one of Escher’s most celebrated images.
