An original lithograph by Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898–1972) titled Up and Down (Op en Neer), created in 1947 and pencil signed lower left. The composition is among Escher’s best-known explorations of impossible architecture, depicting a Mediterranean-inspired complex of staircases, arches, balconies, and courtyards that challenge conventional perspective and spatial logic. Created during the artist’s most celebrated period, Up and Down exemplifies the mathematical precision and visual paradoxes that established Escher as one of the twentieth century’s most influential graphic artists.
