Dalí's signature incorporated on the plate. High-quality paper with a beard-edge origin. The sheet preserves wide margins. Sheet size: approx. 38 × 28 cm. Technique: etching on Arches paper. Date: 1975. Series: La Vida es Sueño. Signature: signature on the plate. Reference: Field 73-1; related to the Michler/Löpsinger cataloging of the series. Good overall condition, with the natural characteristics of the paper and its age. Provenance: Enrique Sabater, friend and secretary to Salvador Dalí during the period of close collaboration with the artist, according to provenance provided by the owner. Interesting example of Dalí's graphic production from the 1970s, particularly attractive for retaining the intact bifolio of the original edition and for its provenance.
