Still Life with Mirror is a lithograph by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was created in 1934.[1] The reflection of the mirror mingles together two completely unrelated spaces and introduces the outside world of the small town narrow street in Abruzzi into internal world of the bedroom.[2] This work of Escher is closely related to his later application of mirror effect in 1937 Still Life and Street.[3] Escher manipulates the scale in different parts of the print to achieve the effect of smooth connection between worlds.[4]
