Italian mud puddle by Maurits Escher.


In the twenties Maurits Escher lived in Italy, and there he drew a lot from nature.
Drawings, which he would later use for his famous wood cuts. The trees that are reflected in the mud puddle - tree shaped itself -  also occur on a much earlier wood cut from Italy. This sample is on sale at Clars Gallery in USA.
