Joan Miro Femme, 1938 linocut laid on black paper. unknown signature. original linoleum cut, a fine impression executed in 1938 for XXe Siecle (Christmas Issue No. 4). Miro's first (and only) linocut. Condition: there is a crease to the bottom left corner of the sheet. There are six pinholes along the left edge of the sheet -- this is from the publisher's original binding staples, and also serves to demonstrate the provenance of this work. Note: a later edition was also issued by XXe Siecle in 1959, but this is the original, first edition. The definitive way to tell is that the original first edition has the pinholes in the margin (glue was used for later issues of XXe Siecle rather than staples). 12 1/2"H x 9 3/4"W (sheet size), 27"H x 21"W (frame)
