Joan Miró

La Femme aux Bijoux (Dupin 452)

"La Femme aux Bijoux" is a 1968 colored etching with carborundum by Joan Miró, an avant garde Spanish artist known for his biomorphic abstraction and playful approach to printmaking. This hors commerce impression, printed by the prestigious Maeght Éditeur in Paris, exemplifies Miró's characteristic use of organic forms and vibrant color to suggest a figure adorned with jewels. The work's substantial size of 746 by 585 millimeters and printing on fine Mandeure Rag paper underscore its significance as a major print from the artist's prolific later career.
