This gouache and India ink work by Joan Miró represents a preliminary study for his album "Le Lézard aux plumes d'or" (The Lizard with Golden Feathers), showcasing the artist's characteristic biomorphic forms and spontaneous gestural marks. The composition combines fluid ink lines with vibrant gouache passages, demonstrating Miró's ability to balance automatic drawing techniques with deliberate color choices. As a project piece, it reveals the artist's conceptual development and his ongoing exploration of the relationship between drawing and painting within his surrealist vocabulary.
