Drawing hands, Tekenen - M.C. Escher |
|
 Escher wanted to show the illusion of a drawing as directly as he could. It looks like two threedimensional hands are drawing each other on a piece of paper. Which, in turn, is drawn on another piece. I wonder : would this be Eschers hand, and the pen he was using at the moment ?

| The Garden Fence - Sandro Del-Prete |
|
 The fence in this picture is out of the ordinary : the ladder you see is using the fence as steps. This means they have to be next to each other. You can also see the boy crouching under them. But the fence has to be vertical, or the connections to the left and the right could not be made.

 The wooden border is possible. The inner connection is not, it starts at the back on the left, and ends in the front at the right. The owl's head should not be visible. The triangle on the paper is not possible. Did you notice that the little man also appears on Eschers Belvedere ?
