Definitely from the Picasso School.

Probably a snap of Picasso himself squinting at what one of his students produced

... but it's another one with the shell spiralling in the wrong direction.

Snail shells can be coiled either clockwise (dextral) or counterclockwise (sinistral) when viewed from above. It’s an identifying characteristic Most species are dextrally coiled. This fine specimen is dextrally coiled, assuming that we’re viewing it from above.

Sorry - bad link there! Go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastropod_shell and scroll down to “Chirality”

I love this websites comments.

I wonder if in Australia the snail shells are mainly sinistral - like water going down the drain?

Onono (13 May 2025, 8:22) complain

Whether it's clockwise or counterclockwise; it spirals upwards and then back from the snail's back, not backwards and then up, as in this nonogram.

Certainly different but fun to do.
