Created in 1958, this original color lithograph was inspired by an early painting, similarly titled from 1947. It is signed by Miro in pencil in the lower right and numbered 163/300 in the lower left.  This piece is also referenced as Rosee Matinale au Claire de Lune. Printed by Crommelynck, Paris, the blindstamp appears in the lower left margin. This work is documented in the Maeght archives as Maeght 1713. Vivid white figuration and whimsical imagery is delightfully accentuated by the rich black background. Preserved in wonderful condition, this piece is a miraculous testament to Miro’s signature style. With painterly application, the color aquatint technique brings a fresh and vibrant quality to the work.  This work was created with gradual complexity, which shows Miró’s intuitive skill and poetic use of line, texture, and color.
