"Three Worlds" is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in December, 1955.

"Three Worlds" depicts a large pool or lake during the autumn or winter months, the title referring to the three visible perspectives in this
leaves float, the world above the surface, observable by the water's reflection of a forest, and the world below the surface, observable in the large fish swimming just below the water’s surface.

Escher also created a picture named "Two Worlds".
