Your work is different from Esher's work. It is an original creation inspired by the
style and a 
particular Esher's print, not a copy. Different tools, different paroach, a kind of
emulation of a 
Master and Precursor.

My opinion would be to mention the inspirational source and tell that you have NO
intention to 
chalenge any copyright or intelectual property.
