"Drawing Hands" is a famous illustration by the Dutch artist M.C. Escher, created in 1948. The artwork features two hands that appear to be drawing each other. Each hand holds a pencil and is engaged in the act of sketching the other hand, creating a paradoxical situation where the drawing seems to generate the drawers. The image plays with concepts of recursion and self-reference, challenging the viewer's perception of reality and the relationship between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.
