La Femme Toupie' bursts with vibrant splashes of bright green, yellow, and orange. Created in 1974, this print is part of a series of 60 that Miró made between 1974 and 1975 using a combination of etching and aquatint. Central to the composition is the figure of a woman, outlined in thick black lines. While abstracted in Miró's signature style, her large black eyes, nose, and red mouth emerge distinctly. She raises her arms high and kicks one leg out, spinning with joyful motion. Stars crown her head, while swirling grey and orange washes behind her head enhance the print's sense of dynamic movement. A playful and evocative print, it conveys both spontaneity and a deep emotional resonance.

Etching and aquatint in colours, 1974, on Arches wove paper, signed in pencil and numbered 49 from the edition of 50, printed by Morsang, Paris, published by Maeght, Paris, sheet: 1392 x 960 mm. (54 ⅞ x 37 ⅞ in.)
