I could not find the exact measurements so that is a rough estimate. DESCRIBE: The thing I first noticed about the piece was texture and detail…

Escher’s work, one would think of geometrical birds flying across the print with a landscape shown underneath, cubes and spheres overlapping one another, and weird surreal prints of inverted architecture. That is because he is most famous for his mathematical tessellations, which are tiling shapes overlapping one another creating a pattern that could be endless.

There is also a dog, however if he would have not told me what animal it was, it could possibly be…
