This work comes from a series of called La Bague d'Aurore (The Ring of Dawn), a piece of literature by the French writer René Crevel, for whom Miró made the illustrations. It originally came in a portfolio of 24 similar works and one etching. Other editions of this work can be found in the collections of MoMA, NY and Yale University Art Gallery, CT.

Joan Miró (b. Barcelona, Spain in 1893) was influenced by the Fauves and Cubists early in his artistic career, though his style continuously evolved. After moving to Paris, he became associated with Surrealism even though he maintained a unique and personal approach. He embraced experimentation, pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms that resulted in a rich, varied body of work. His artistic contributions extended beyond the canvas and was involved in theatre productions and costume, and later created public sculptures that can be found in cities around the world. Miró received the Grand Prize for Graphic Work at the 1954 Venice Biennale, and his work is collected by major institutions including the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, and the Tate Modern in London. Miró died in Palma, Spain in 1983.
