Artistic freedom

Juan Miro. Dutch Interior I. 1928.
So this is what Miro did with The Lute Player (17th century); parts of the original painting survive.The dog is still there; and the architectural square at the bottom, the post and ball finial at the left. The white tablecloth is very prominent, but where is the woman listening? I'm still looking for her. This was amazing to me; both that he was inspired by this piece and that he worked off of this image.What I love here is the color.
