Nah. The door wasn't drawn. The door would be in front of the man.
You can see all around the ball is nothing. No door.
The subject is the ball. What is behind the ball was left out.
From the reflection you can actually recreate what is behind the ball using this website.
That may work in real life, but this is a hand drawn image.
The levels of distortion around the edges of Eschers drawing don't match what is shown in your example.
