The Tilled Field

The Tilled Field (French: La terre labourée; Catalan: Terra llaurada) is a 1923–1924 oil-on-canvas painting by Catalan painter Joan Miró, depicting a stylized view of his family's farm at Mont-roig del Camp in Catalonia.

A diagonal line seems to put the top right corner of the painting in the dark of night, while the rest is in the light of day.

The various animal forms are derived from Catalan ceramics, including a lizard wearing a conical hat.

A tree to the right of the centre has a large eye in its green crown and a human ear on its brown trunk.

Also in the background, towards the centre, is a ramshackle house with a chimney, and further left a tree-like object bearing the flags of France, Spain and Catalonia.
