Drawing Hands 1948, lithograph, 28.2 x 33.2 cm This is one of Escher’s best-known images. A piece of paper is fixed to a base with drawing pins. A right hand is busy sketching a shirt-cuff upon this drawing paper. At this point the work is incomplete, but a little further to the right, the hand has already drawn a left hand emerging from a sleeve in such detail that it seems to emerge from the flat surface. Note that Escher drew with his left hand and used his right hand as the model.
