This variation on Escher's lithograph "High and Low" was created by 3D-artist Robert Stein III in 1994. Unlike other variations of the lithograph this is a stereo image of the Escher's scene.

The artist named the artwork "Day and Night", because except Escher's perspective illusion he shown day at the top of the artwork and night at the bottom.
