Salvador Dalí - The Centaur (Le Centaure) Original Sanguine Etching

This is a fine art print, specifically a sanguine-ink etching on paper, attributed to the style and hand of the Surrealist master Salvador Dalí. The piece depicts a mythological centaur, executed with fluid, rhythmic line work that emphasizes muscular tension and movement through circular hatchings—a hallmark of Dalí’s later graphic period, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The artwork is rendered in a rust-red or terracotta-colored ink (sanguine) on a cream-colored woven paper. A notable physical feature is the vertical rectangular tape or adhesive residue on the left side of the image, which suggests a past framing issue or a repair. There is a visible blind-stamp or watermark in the lower left corner, which is critical for verifying the paper house and authenticity (possibly Arches or Rives). The piece is housed under glass with a white mat and a dark wood frame. The condition appears fair to good, though the aforementioned adhesive mark on the paper surface is a significant detractor. The draftsmanship displays high-quality anatomical surrealism, blending human and equine forms with a kinetic energy typical of Dalí's 'Divine Comedy' or mythological series.
