The artwork, entitled “Vignette,” was crafted by the renowned artist M.C. Escher in the year 1931. This piece is a part of the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of illustration. Furthermore, it belongs to the series “De vreeselijke avonturen van Scholastica.”
The artwork depicts an intricate and thought-provoking design framed within a triangular border. Dominating the composition is the word “FINIS” in bold, stylized letters at the top. Encapsulated within the triangle below the text is a dynamic and somewhat surreal image of a menacing, muscular creature seemingly in motion. The creature’s form is detailed with sharp lines and contrasting shadows, emphasizing its aggressive posture and intricate anatomy. The artwork showcases Escher’s characteristic precision and imaginative prowess, blending elements of the fantastical with stark graphic clarity.
