The overall dimensions are approximately 9.75 x 7.75 x 7/8 inches. The theme of Ascending and Descending centers on Escher's exploration of impossible realities and optical illusions. Created in 1960, this lithograph depicts figures endlessly climbing and descending a staircase in a loop that defies physical logic. This paradoxical structure, known as a Penrose staircase, reflects Escher's fascination with infinity, perspective, and the limitations of human perception. The piece invites viewers to question reality and the boundaries of visual interpretation.
