Description
This 1972 dry-point engraving by Salvador Dali captures the dramatic essence of Edmond Rostand's play "Cyrano de Bergerac." The work features Dali's signature surrealist linework, depicting a stylized Cyrano with his famously elongated nose, looking up toward Roxane who leans from a stone balcony. The composition is dynamic, utilizing sweeping, energetic lines that emanate from Cyrano's reach toward a golden, sun-like orb.
Produced in the renowned Ateliers Rigal workshop in France, the piece employs five distinct colors to emphasize the movement and ethereal nature of the scene. This edition was specifically commissioned for Fine Arts 260 and is hand-signed by Dali in the lower right margin, with the edition number 131/1000 in the lower left. The engraving is presented in a professional metal frame by Kulicke, a company noted for providing high-quality framing for major museums and galleries during the mid-20th century.
