Original Oil, Chinese ink and wax crayon, using different colours: Green, brown wash, black and dark blue. painted on plywood, 23/5/1981, signed by the artist in pencil, top right. The verso is titled and dated 23/V.81./

Provenance: Private collection, Majorca, Spain - this work has never passed through auction.

Note: The artist loved to re-use old pieces of wood and cardboard as backcloths for his art. In many ways it could be said that he was a pioneer of the concept of re-cycling so popular today.  For him if the piece was damaged or irregular in shape it did not matter. It was part of his concept of the “destruction of Art”.  

Condition: In very good condition but the wood on which it is implanted is irregular and torn - as the artist wished it to be.

Authentication: The work has a certificate from ADOM, (Association pour la Défense de l'œuvre de Joan Miró) dated 4th December 2019
