Submitted photographs of the questioned drawing,and close detail views. Comparative images of authenticated Miró works and reference signatures assembled in the present project folder
The reverse of the submitted work presents a simple but visually deliberate backing structure consistent with a framed decorative panel rather than an unmounted loose work on paper. The back is closed by a large dark brown to nearly black central backing board, surrounded by a broad perimeter of light brown kraft-paper tape or paper lining applied around the edges of the frame.

Private authentication
Submit your artwork for a ConfirmArt review
Use this real case as a reference for the kind of evidence that can be organized in a private authentication report.
The public browser receives rendered pages, not a native PDF viewer or direct PDF URL. Public pixels can still be screen-captured; private commissioned reports remain controlled client deliverables.
QR verification
Traceable real case
This real case has a stable verification URL and source fingerprints. The QR code resolves to the public verification record for this case.
Only your email and service selection are needed to submit the request. Optional images, dimensions and notes can be added now or later.
Payment is requested only for the Authentication report. Catalogue search, advisory, restoration and local inspection requests are reviewed first so the scope can be confirmed.
Authentication is a human expert review. ConfirmArt may use AI for bounded research support such as database, image, book or provenance searches, but not as a classifier verdict.
