The Hague has a wonderful museum full of drawing by Escher. Although he's most famous for op-art styke, or geometric, drawings, he also did some great portaits and of towns in the Netherlands and Italy.
I thought this was just a beautiful drawing.
This is a drawing of San Gimignano, Italy, which I visited a number of years ago.
This row of houses leads into the main square on Delft. The far row of buildings is city hall. I crossed at this intersection several times while visiting the town.
This is a town in Calabria, Italy, where (I believe) my brother-in-law's family is from.
I love Escher! I would love to go to that museum. I think the koi drawing is lovely also. My favorite is the little lizards or dragons emerging from the desk blotter and back. Too cute.
