Hand with Reflecting Sphere （lithograph， 31.8 cm × 21.3 cm， 1935） also known as Self-Portrait in Spherical Mirror is a lithograph print by Dutch artist M. C. Escher， first printed in January 1935. The piece depicts a hand holding a reflective sphere. In the reflection， most of the room around Escher can be seen， and the hand holding the sphere is revealed to be Escher’s.

Self-portraits in reflective， spherical surfaces are common in Escher’s work， and this image is the most prominent and famous example. In much of his self-portraiture of this type， Escher is in the act of drawing the sphere， whereas in this image he is seated and gazing into it. On the walls there are several framed pictures， one of which appears to be of an Indonesian shadow puppet.

《手與反射球》（平版印刷，31.8厘米×21.3厘米，1935）又名《球面镜中的自画像》，是荷兰画家M.C.埃舍尔的一幅平版印刷画，1935年1月首印。画面上，一只手上持一个反射球。在球面反射中，可以看到埃舍尔身处房间的大部分景象，持球的那只手就是埃舍尔本人的。

反射球面中的自画像在埃舍尔的作品中很常见，而此画是其中最突出也最有名的一幅。在很多这种形式的自画像中，埃舍尔都在画球体，此画中，他则是端坐凝视球体。房间墙上挂有几幅装裱好的画作，其中一幅似乎画的是印尼皮影。
