MC Escher 1000-piece Jigsaw Puzzle: Drawing Hands

The illustrator makes the art as the art makes the illustrator: this never-ending cycle of creation was a familiar theme for Dutch artist M.C. Escher, whose work is celebrated in this 1,000-piece black-and-white jigsaw puzzle. Completed in 1948, Drawing Hands is among the artist's most famous masterpieces. The subtle variety of textures he used makes this puzzle both interesting and challenging for skilled puzzle masters. When complete, the puzzle measures 24.38 by 20.5 inches. You can learn more about Escher in the book M.C. Escher: His Life and Complete Graphic Work. --Joan DeClaire
