SALVADOR DALÍ (1904–1989)

Figura encadenada

1975

Original etching on Arches paper, France, created for the suite La Vida es Sueño, inspired by the famous work of Pedro Calderón de la Barca.

The composition features at the top an elaborate architectural and literary structure accompanied by surrealist calligraphic elements, while in the lower area there is a linear, equestrian figure, characteristic of Dalí's graphic language. Dalí's signature incorporated into the plate.

High-quality paper with deckle-edged borders. The sheet preserves wide margins.
