A captivating lithograph with etching on Arches paper by the master of Surrealism, Salvador Dalí. This work depicts a central, gilded anthropomorphic clock standing upon a vast, receding plane that pulls the viewer's eye toward a distant, serene coastline. The figure, a nod to the myth of Daphne, sprouts olive-colored leaves from her head, while her torso houses a melting blue clock face—a signature Dalinian motif symbolizing the fluid and arbitrary nature of time.
In the foreground, a single "melting" stone or watch lies isolated, echoing the composition of his most famous landscapes. The piece is bathed in a soft, ethereal light emanating from a stylized sun in the upper right.
This specific impression is marked "E.A." (Épreuve d'Artiste) in the lower-left corner and bears Dalí’s distinct, sprawling signature in the lower-right. A vertical watermark/stamp "© ASIR N.V. 1976" is visible along the left margin, dating the edition to the mid-1970s. The artwork is housed in a sleek, silver-toned frame that complements the cool greys and vibrant golds of the composition.
