Salvador Dalí

King Richard, from Ivanhoe (Field 78-8A; M&L 1557)

This 1978 lithograph by Salvador Dalí depicts King Richard, a character from Sir Walter Scott's novel Ivanhoe, rendered in the artist's characteristic surrealist style with vibrant printed colors. Created as part of a limited edition of 100 numbered copies and printed on fine Japan nacré paper, the work exemplifies Dalí's late period engagement with literary subjects and his mastery of the lithographic medium. The print measures 750 by 550 millimeters and was published by the New York firm Levine and Levine, representing a significant example of Dalí's collaborative printmaking practice during the 1970s.
