Joan Miró — Souris rouge à la mantille (Red Mouse in Mantilla)
Joan Miró

Souris rouge à la mantille (Red Mouse in Mantilla)

A vibrant aquatint by Joan Miró, *Souris rouge à la mantille (Red Mouse in Mantilla)* showcases the artist's signature biomorphic forms and bold, playful use of color on fine Arches paper. Whimsical lines and vivid hues dance across the composition, blending Surrealist fantasy with Miró's distinctly poetic visual language. The deckle edges on two sides lend the work an organic, handcrafted quality that complements its dreamlike imagery.

Medium
Aquatint in colours, on Arches paper, with full margins (deckle on two sides),
