Salvador Dali Etching Lady Dulcinea Don Quixote, Signed in the Plate, Framed, 1974

About the Item

Salvador Dali. A slight, dreamlike figure fills the sheet: a pale woman with long yellow hair looks out from beneath a towering black scribbled headdress, her shoulders draped in a pink veil that falls to either side like a tent over a thin blue horizon and mauve hills. Her bodice is drawn in fine looping pen-like line with a scatter of dark curls at the neckline. Colours are soft washes - shell pink, straw yellow, pale blue - over crisp etched outline on white paper, signed in pencil at the lower right below a clean plate mark. Medium: etching with hand colouring on paper. Signed pencil, lower right of the margin. Edition: certificate states pencil signed and numbered; the number itself is not visible in the photographs.
