Joan Miró (Spanish, 1893-1983).

Le Bousier (The Dung Beetle)

1978. Aquatint and drypoint, printed à la poupée, editioned 19/30 and signed in pencil in lower margin, 20.7 x 35cm (platemark), 50.9 x 66.9cm (paper).Slight discolouration to paper. Framed.

Printed with two plates: the first plate, forming the background image, is in aquatint and drypoint in multiple colours and most likely was larger than the paper size, thus no platemark; the second plate, which is smaller and in the centre of the image, is printed in black aquatint. Ref: Dupin & Lelong-Mainaud #1016, does not note the two plates.
