"Still Life with Spherical Mirror" is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in November, 1934. It depicts a setting with rounded bottle and a metal sculpture of a bird with a human face seated atop a newspaper and a book. The background is dark but in the bottle you can see the reflection of Escher’s studio and Escher himself sketching the scene.
Self portraits in reflective spherical surfaces can be found in Escher’s early ink drawings and in his prints as late as the 1950s. The metal bird/human sculpture is real and was given to Escher by his father-in-law. This sculpture appears again in Escher’s later prints "Another World Mezzotint (Other World Gallery)" (1946) and "Another World" (1947).
