The Caress of a Bird, Bronze sculpture at Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona, Spain.
The Caress of a Bird stands over three meters tall, combining painted bronze elements with a width of 110 centimeters and a depth of 48 centimeters.
Created in 1967 at Miró's studio in Palma de Mallorca, this sculpture emerged from his early experimentation with found objects during his time in Mont-roig del Camp.
The sculpture represents female forms through repurposed items, including an outhouse seat and an ironing board, reflecting Miró's interpretation of gender identity.
The sculpture remains on permanent display at the Fundació Joan Miró, allowing visitors to examine the detailed textures and patina of the bronze construction.
The piece belongs to a limited edition of seven bronze casts, with five numbered copies and two special editions produced by Susse Fondeur in Paris.
