Flor de Pascua - The Weathercock 1921

"Flor de Pascua - The Weathercock" is a 1921 woodcut by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, known for his intricate and often paradoxical compositions. This early work depicts a stylized rooster atop a weather vane, silhouetted against a backdrop of clouds and a city skyline. The bold black and white lines, typical of Escher's woodcut style, create a strong contrast and visual rhythm, highlighting the geometric forms of the rooster and its surroundings. The image is simple yet evocative, suggesting a sense of tranquility and the passing of time as the weathercock rotates in the breeze.
