La condition humaine by René Magritte https://www.nga.gov/artworks/70170-la-condition-humaine
Two of Magritte’s favored themes were the „window painting“ and the „painting within a painting.“ The Human Condition is one of Magritte’s earliest treatments of either subject, and in it he combines the two, making what may be his most subtle and profound statement of their shared meaning. The Human Condition displays an easel placed inside a room and in front of a window.
