愛(ài)藝

Hand with Reflecting Sphere （lithograph， 31.8 cm × 21.3 cm， 1935） also known as Self-Portrait in Spherical Mirror is a lithograph print by Dutch artist M. C. Escher， first printed in January 1935. The piece depicts a hand holding a reflective sphere. In the reflection， most of the room around Escher can be seen， and the hand holding the sphere is revealed to be Escher’s.

Self-portraits in reflective， spherical surfaces are common in Escher’s work， and this image is the most prominent and famous example. In much of his self-portraiture of this type， Escher is in the act of drawing the sphere， whereas in this image he is seated and gazing into it. On the walls there are several framed pictures， one of which appears to be of an Indonesian shadow puppet.

《手與反射球》（平版印刷，31.8厘米×21.3厘米，1935）又名《球面鏡中的自畫(huà)像》，是荷蘭畫(huà)家M.C.埃舍爾的一幅平版印刷畫(huà)，1935年1月首印。畫(huà)面上，一只手上持一個(gè)反射球。在球面反射中，可以看到埃舍爾身處房間的大部分景象，持球的那只手就是埃舍爾本人的。

反射球面中的自畫(huà)像在埃舍爾的作品中很常見(jiàn)，而此畫(huà)是其中最突出也最有名的一幅。在很多這種形式的自畫(huà)像中，埃舍爾都在畫(huà)球體，此畫(huà)中，他則是端坐凝視球體。房間墻上掛有幾幅裝裱好的畫(huà)作，其中一幅似乎畫(huà)的是印尼皮影。
