Dali Art Appraisal

Salvador Dalí Lithograph, 'Mark'

This item is a framed lithograph by Salvador Dalí, titled 'Mark.' The artwork itself depicts a seated figure, stylized with a flowing beard and hair, wearing a halo, and appearing to be writing or sketching on a large scroll or tablet. The figure is rendered with bold, minimalist black lines on an orange-ochre background dotted with smaller, irregularly placed dark spots. The background color also shows some texture, possibly indicative of the paper or printing process. The lithograph is presented within a multi-layered framing system: first, a white mat board directly surrounding the artwork, then a wider black mat, and finally, housed within an ornate gold-colored wooden frame. The frame features a classic beaded inner rim and a textured outer edge, with visible corner joins. A small plaque is affixed to the bottom center of the frame, likely indicating the artist or title. A faint signature, possibly 'Dalí,' is visible in the bottom right corner of the print itself. The overall dimensions are stated as 28x28 inches, suggesting a square format. The visible condition appears good, with no obvious signs of major damage to the print itself or the framing. The piece exhibits characteristics typical of Dalí's later graphic works, combining his unique surrealist vision with a more accessible printmaking medium. The framing suggests it was prepared for display, emphasizing its status as a collectible art piece.
