Prints and Drawings

Drawing Hands is a lithograph by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher, first printed in January 1948. It depicts a sheet of paper from which two hands rise, each in the paradoxical act of drawing the other into existence, one of the clearest examples of Escher's recurring use of paradox.
