This original ink drawing on paper by Wifredo Lam features his signature Afro-Cuban surrealist iconography, blending totemic and avian-like forms with sharp, rhythmic line work. The piece includes a significant handwritten dedication in Spanish which reads: "Su amistad inconmensurable al hombre y la humanidad llegando a límites universales... La Habana 1953." (Translated: "Your immeasurable friendship to man and humanity reaching universal limits... Havana 1953.") The work is signed and dated by the artist at the lower right and is presented in a dark wood frame with a white and black double mat.
