Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)

This non-free media file has been set up with as small a version as possible, to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. The current resolution has been manually selected to achieve as small an image as possible without destroying the image content. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of non-free work should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work.

The image resolution has been reduced to 320x400, from the 818x1024 resolution of the original image provided online by the Escher Museum.

Respect for
commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)
