Description

Cover artwork used for Leopoldo Froes' "Mimosa". The artwork may have been used for various publications, as the cover does not indicate the piece's title or the composer; the only visible text is "Successos Successos", possibly the name of the publication series. Four figures in Carnaval outfits in alternating white and black designs are present in the corners of the cover's border. The upper two figures are throwing out long strands of multicolored ribbons and confetti, which make up the image's border. The lower left figure is singing and playing a guitar.
