Salvador Dali Portrait Of Pablo Picasso From The Les Hommages Suite Appraisal

Salvador Dalí, Portrait of Pablo Picasso from the 'Les Hommages' Suite

This is a limited-edition lithograph or drypoint etching on paper by the Spanish Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, depicting a portrait of Pablo Picasso wearing a laurel wreath. The piece is executed in monochromatic black ink on a heavy, cream-toned woven paper. The central figure occupies the upper half of the composition, rendered with high contrast and detailed cross-hatching that emphasizes Picasso’s intense, wide-eyed gaze. The bottom edge of the paper appears to be deckled, suggesting a high-quality handmade or specialty printmaking stock. A prominent artist's signature in Dalí's distinctive calligraphic style is located in the lower right, while a fractional edition number (appearing to be 77/200) is visible in the lower left. The style reflects Dalí's late period (circa 1968-1974), characterized by a focus on tribute portraits of historical and contemporary masters. The condition shows some visible signs of age including mild yellowing or foxing consistent with the paper type, and it is currently housed behind glass in a frame. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise linework and the dramatic, expressive facial features of the subject.
