A powerful black figure stares out from the composition emoting authority and confidence. Aptly titled Le Marechal des Logis (The Sergeant) a badge of accolades is present in vibrant primary colors, just under an eye which stares out intimidatingly. Best known for his playful compositions, Miró in this work takes a serious turn, which makes for a rare work in his oeuvre and a must have for any collection.
Created in 1978, this color etching and aquatint is hand signed in white crayon by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983) in the lower right. Published by Maeght, Paris and printed by Morsang, Paris, this work is numbered from the edition of 50.
