(image) signed on the plate certificate of authenticity after the return (1940) bfk rives paper dry stamps from adagp and the magritte estate ‘the return’ marks one of the first appearances of what would become one of the most enduring motifs in magritte’s work: the silhouette of a bird cut out against the sky. Magritte would return to this motif tirelessly for over twenty years, right up to ‘the sky bird’ of the 1960s. But it is here, in this nocturnal and emotionally charged setting, that it finds its original form. Lcd8026 this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
