This lithograph was used to create the poster for one of the artist's exhibitions in Nice in 1957. It is characterized by a rectangular composition bordered by black dots, and an almost primitive, spontaneous combination of primary colors.
The work is characteristic of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The flat tints of color, the small dots, the stars and the graphic intensity of the image are striking. By taking up the portrait format, Miró plays with so-called classical iconography while breaking aesthetic codes. Instead of a face, we might see an Aboriginal mask. The character's attributes, similar to hieroglyphics, also resemble the pitchforks used in gardening. They are also found in a series of lithographs produced two years later: Je travaille comme un jardinier (I work like a gardener).
