*Catalogue Entry #: For numbering used in other catalogues, see below.
- The Pierre Matisse Gallery Catalogue # = 39.
**Title:
- As no observed impression bears a title in the artist's hand, the catalgoue raisonné leaves this print untitled.
- One impression from the Hemingway Collection bears the English "Decoration" (not in the artist's hand) bottom center left of the sheet.
- The Pierre Matisse Gallery exhibition catalogue uses the Spanish title "Decoración," which can be translated as either "decoration" or "scenery" as in a stage setting. The source of this title is currently unknown.
***Date: No date appears on any of the observed impressions of this print. Of the dates that appear on works in the Hemingway Collection, which includes this print, none is earlier than 1931 and none later than 1934. Quintanilla started making drypoints, in fact prints in general, with Adolfo Ruperez, the printer of all the prints in the Madrid Series, sometime after the artist's return to Madrid in 1929. (See Biographical Chronology.)
- The one known exception to the range of dates specified in the paragraph just above is entry # I
****Medium: A final determination for the medium has not been made.
- For a discussion of the factors involved, visit the "Medium" section of "Using This Catalogue Raisonné."
*****Edition:
- One observed impressions is inscribed "n° 2," l.l. (See Fig. 1 below.)
- Another is inscribed "n° 3," l.l.

- An unnumbered impression, typically found in the Hemingway Collection, usually bears a title instead of the number, l.l., but no such impression of this print has been observed.
