Salvador Dalí Lithograph after 'The Great Masturbator'

This item is a framed lithograph after the seminal 1929 Surrealist oil painting 'The Great Masturbator' by Salvador Dalí. The artwork features Dalí's iconic dream-like imagery, centered on a large, distorted profile of a human face in yellowish-green tones, which transitions into a variety of symbolic forms including a grasshopper, ants, and an elegant female figure rising from the head. The print is housed in a substantial, multi-tiered wooden frame with a light honey-toned finish and visible wood grain, complemented by a cream-colored inner mat. While the image is slightly low-resolution, the colors appear relatively vibrant with typical Surrealist blues and earth tones. The lithographic process likely dates from the late 20th century, common for commercial or limited edition reproductions of Dalí's early masterpieces. To determine the full appraisal value, one would need to inspect the margins for a pencil signature, numbering (e.g., EA or a fractional edition number), and any embossed blind stamps from reputable print houses. The overall condition appears stable, though there is some light reflection on the glass indicating it is not museum-grade anti-reflective glazing. The frame shows minor surface handling marks consistent with age but remains structurally sound.
