Corte 1933

"Corte" is a 1933 pencil drawing by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. The artwork depicts a picturesque Italian village with winding roads, a bridge, and a river. This drawing, like many of Escher's works, features a unique perspective and a focus on architectural detail. The composition is simplified, emphasizing the geometric forms of the buildings and the path through the village. The drawing serves as a study for a later lithograph of the same name, which would become one of Escher's most celebrated works.
