(frame) Handsigned by the artist in pencil Certificate of authenticity Arches paper Centre fold Based on the lithograph ‘Behind the Mirror’ nos. 57-58-59 from 1953 The silhouettes and symbols that make up the nocturnal frieze are reminiscent of spontaneous childhood drawings: rounded shapes, quick gestures, bold colours. Miró deliberately recaptures this primitive freshness. He transforms childlike spontaneity into a mature visual language, where wonder becomes the very essence of his art. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
