For those who aren’t art aficionados, Reptiles is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in March, 1943.

Although the desk is covered with ordinary objects, there is a metal dodecahedron which the reptiles climb over. Although only the size of small lizards, these reptiles appear to have tusks and the one standing on the dodecahedron blows smoke from its nostrils.
