Escher was left-handed. This can be proven as Escher sketched his right hand with a pencil in it. Therefore he must have drawn the sketch with his left hand.
Escher moved over 8 times during his life.
Was Escher only a mathematician or was he an artist ? It's not easy to see the difference in this case.
