A geometric composition animated by bold blocks of color fills the sheet in this characteristic lithograph by Miró. In areas, red and green have been laid down over the crayon texture of the black; the play of grainy black against translucent and opaque color gives the piece depth. Viewers will appreciate the understated complexity of this print. What would otherwise be an abstract composition is animated by one glowing red eye. Suddenly, a twisted and folded animals peers out from the image, altering the viewing experience entirely.

Created in 1975, this original color lithograph is hand-signed by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983) in pencil in the lower right margin. Annotated 'H.C.' (hors commerce) in pencil in the lower left margin, it was created aside from the signed and numbered deluxe edition of 150 on Vélin de Rives.
