In The Marvellous Steps, Salvador Dalí turns an episode from Arthurian legend into a meditation on movement, destiny, and transformation. The directness of drypoint gives the image an intimate, hand-drawn quality, while the medium’s characteristic richness lends depth to Dalí’s animated line. Executed in 1975, this impression is numbered 89/249 and hand signed by the artist. The sheet measures 18.9 x 13.8 inches (48 x 35 cm), with framed dimensions of 24.4 x 20.5 inches (62 x 52 cm). Oeuvres Graphiques Contemporaines/Pamela Verlag, Paris, published the edition, and Atelier Viglino/Atelier Taille Douce, Paris, printed it. The work is documented as Field 75-9 A and Michler/Löpsinger 778. Its excellent condition, established catalogue references, and evocative literary subject make it a notable example of Dalí’s mature graphic work.
