Joan Miró

Carlos Galofré Folch, Barcelona
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Gouache and pastel over etching on paper. Executed on thick cream wove paper and not laid down. All four edges are deckled. The sheet is slightly time-stained with some very minor spots of foxing along the edges and there are some minor creases to the extreme edges of the sheet. There are some fine lines and scuffs to the black pigment with some very minor spots of pigment loss, most of which are probably inherent to the artist's process. The colours are bright and this work is in otherwise very good original condition.
