The title of this work translates as 'The Pink Clown' and portrays a captivating abstract figure, centred in the composition and brought to life through bold, black lines. The figure is playful and full of movement, reaching out towards the edges of the sheet. Crowned with a whimsical hat, the figure is formed of vigorous linework that conveys its energetic and spirited nature. Unlike Miró's typical vibrant colour palette, this print is dominated by a soft pink wash, lending it a dreamlike atmosphere. Surrounding the central figure are unexpected stars and spontaneous scribbles, heightening the image's sense of dreamlike fantasy. A work full of energy, 'Le Pitre Rose' captures Miró's distinctive ability to evoke emotion and whimsy through simple, yet dynamic forms and colours.

Etching with aquatint in colours, 1974, on Arches paper, signed in pencil and numbered 48 from the edition of 50, printed by Morsang, Paris, published by Maeght, Paris, with full margins, sheet: 1378 x 965 mm. (54¼ x 38 in.)
