Note du spécialiste

We are grateful to Alejandro Rodríguez for his assistance in confirming the authenticity of this work; to be included in the forthcoming volume of the Catalogue Raisonné.

"The rooster became the basic symbol of Mariano's poetics and a quintessential expression of national identity. An icon of Cuban painting made its appearance, making a crucial moment for Cuban art in its quest to attain a universal dimension."
