This image depicts a framed artwork by M.C. Escher, titled "2 Motieven: vliegens-systeem" (Two Motifs: Flying System), dated 1938. The artwork itself is a tessellation featuring alternating patterns of orange birds in flight and white fish. The birds and fish are intricately designed to interlock, filling the entire rectangular space of the print without any gaps or overlaps. The background of the print is a light, textured paper. Above the tessellation, in the upper portion of the print, is the handwritten mark "X (22)". Along the bottom edge of the print, there is handwritten text that appears to be a title or description: "2 Motieven: vliegens-systeem (IA) (IA) 2de No 18, 29, 30". To the right of this text, in the lower right corner of the print, is a signature that reads "Wickel II - '38". The artwork is matted with a white border and enclosed in a thin, light-colored frame. The photograph is taken from a slightly elevated angle, showing the artwork mounted on a light-colored wall. This artwork is part of the collection of the Escher Museum (Escher in Het Paleis) in The Hague, Netherlands. in The Hague, Netherlands
