Answer
I am not sure of what your question is.  My guess is that you want to know if you have a real Miro.  To help you, I will need more information.  What is the medium (lithograph, etching, painting, etc.)?
What are the dimensions of the work?  What is the work on (canvas, paper)?

It would help a great deal if you could provide an image.  I don't think that you can send me a picture through this process, but you can send it to me via my e-mail.  The address is bmahmoud@niu.edu.

When I get more information, I will try to help you.
