Little Nell and her grandfather in the Old Curiosity Shop
Add. Notes: signed 'A D MCCORMICK' (lower right) oil on canvas 26½ x 20½ in. (67.3 x 52 cm.)
Notes: La Danseuse au Soleil noir is related to the later print Le Cracheur de Flammes (D. 650), but is presented in a landscape rather than a portrait format, and also bears differences in the background colours. This is confirmed by the certificate written in pencil by the director of the Fondació Miró on the reverse of the sheet. As this is the Bon í  Tirer impression for an edition which was not executed, it may be presumed to be unique.
