Rhythmic serenity emanates from this delightful work. Miro creates a quirky yet sophisticated pattern of decorative and playful spots, irregular yet repetitive like a Dalmatian's coat. A motif made from small bold dots, painterly gestures, and frail suggestions of stars energize the work with its rich variety. Refreshing splashes of color emerge without overpowering the composition that provide visual interest and further a feeling of natural easiness. This subdued work is fine example of the softer side of Miro that is elegantly refined while remaining characteristically lighthearted.
