The Knighting of Lancelot presents a defining moment in the hero’s story, when individual promise becomes public honor and duty. Dalí’s drypoint line gives the ceremonial subject an unusual vitality, balancing the gravity of ritual with the imaginative energy that characterizes his interpretations of literature. 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), while the framed dimensions are 24.4 x 20.5 inches (62 x 52 cm). The edition was published by Oeuvres Graphiques Contemporaines/Pamela Verlag, Paris, and printed by Atelier Viglino/Atelier Taille Douce, Paris. It is recorded as Field 75-9 C and Michler/Löpsinger 780. In excellent condition, the work is distinguished by its strong narrative focus, recognized documentation, and place within Dalí’s mature exploration of chivalric legend.
