The graphic was prepared in 1938 by Atelier Mourlot for the famous French art magazine "Verve".The director of the magazine "Verve" was the well-known publisher E.Teriade. During the 23 years of the quarterly, he published 10 volumes of lithographs by the most prominent Parisian artists. The magazine had the character of a modernist art magazine. It cooperated with a famous Parisian printing house - Atelier Mourlot, founded by Francois Mourlot.
In the 1950s. Miro settled permanently in Palma de Mallorca, where he established an engraving and lithography workshop. Fascinated by printmaking techniques and the many expressive and communicative possibilities they offered, he saw this medium as a tool to perfectly capture his art. He used unusual utensils such as combs, shells and fingers to create his prints, which helped to make them even more personal. Miro's graphics, were often intended for books and magazines published in limited editions. Whether they were etchings or color lithographs, they are today faithful witnesses to his language.
