Executed as etchings and drypoints with color applied à la poupée on pearlescent Japon paper, these works exemplify Dalí’s mastery of intaglio techniques and his fascination with mythic and erotic themes.

FAQ

Is this an original Salvador Dalí edition?

Yes. This is an authentic, complete set from the Femmes et chevaux series (1973), comprising the four works Le Triomphe, La Parade, L’Adoration, and Hippofemme. Each print is an original etching and drypoint with à la poupée coloring, produced under Dalí’s supervision.

Are the works hand-signed by Dalí?

Yes. Each print in the set is hand-signed in pencil by Salvador Dalí and individually inscribed “E.A.” (Épreuve d’Artiste).

What does “E.A.” mean?

“E.A.” stands for Épreuve d’Artiste, or Artist’s Proof. These impressions were reserved for Dalí and his studio. Artist’s proofs are more scarce than the numbered edition and therefore more desirable to collectors.

Is the set listed in the catalogue raisonné?

Yes. All four works are fully documented in Michler & Löpsinger 583–586, the definitive reference for Dalí’s original prints.

What printing techniques were used?

These works employ:

• Etching for detailed linework

• Drypoint for expressive, velvety lines

• Color à la poupée, a method where inks are applied by hand directly onto the plate

• Pearlescent Japon paper, adding texture and luminosity
  This combination reflects Dalí’s exceptional command of printmaking during the early 1970s.

Is this a valuable and collectible set?

Yes. Complete suites from Dalí’s thematic series — especially artist’s proofs on Japon paper — are rare and highly collectible. The mythic and surreal imagery, combined with technical refinement, makes this set especially sought-after.

Does the set come with a certificate of authenticity?

Yes. The complete suite is delivered with full documentation and a certificate of authenticity.
