Joan Miró

La Bague d’Aurore (Dupin 132)

"La Bague d'Aurore" is a rare etching with aquatint created by Joan Miró in 1957, distinguished by its extensive hand coloring in red, blue, and green crayon applied to each of only twelve unique impressions. The work was expertly printed by renowned workshops Dutrou and Atelier Crommelynck and published by Louis Broder in Paris on fine BFK Rives paper with full margins. This intimate composition exemplifies Miró's characteristic biomorphic vocabulary and his masterful integration of printmaking techniques with gestural color application.
