Scarabs 1935

"Scarabs," a 1935 woodcut by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, depicts two dung beetles, one rolling a dung ball, the other facing the viewer. Escher's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism in the intricate details of the beetles and dung ball. The artist's signature in the lower left corner confirms the artwork's authenticity. Escher's work often explores themes of metamorphosis, repetition, and the perception of reality, making "Scarabs" a fascinating example of his artistic genius.
