This composition presents one of the mythological Furies rendered in Dalí’s unmistakable surrealist style—elongated, spectral, and otherworldly. The figure’s distorted anatomy and luminous, almost dissolving form evoke a haunting sense of tension and psychological intensity, heightened by a rich, moody palette of deep grays, muted greens, and subtle highlights.

Published by Éditions d’Art Les Heures Claires, Paris, this work is part of Dalí’s ambitious suite translating his original watercolor visions into finely executed wood engravings. The series is widely regarded as one of the most significant illustrated interpretations of Dante’s Divine Comedy.

Professionally framed in a classic gilt beaded frame with archival materials, ready for display.

A striking and sophisticated piece ideal for collectors of Surrealism, literary art, or Dalí’s graphic works.
