Still Life and Street is a woodcut print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in March, 1937. It depicts a desk in front of a window overlooking a street.
This image is a classic example of Escher’s plays on perspective. In it, the horizontal plane of the desk continues into the distance to become the street and the rows of books on the desk are seen to lean against the tall buildings that line the street.
