Fight Before la Dame de Malehout captures the courtly world of Arthurian legend at a moment of confrontation, where combat unfolds before a noble observer. The subject brings spectacle, honor, and tension together, and Dalí’s animated drypoint line gives the episode a sense of immediacy without reducing it to straightforward illustration. 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). The edition was published by Oeuvres Graphiques Contemporaines/Pamela Verlag, Paris, and printed by Atelier Viglino/Atelier Taille Douce, Paris. It is documented as Field 75-9 F and Michler/Löpsinger 783. In excellent condition, the work stands as a distinctive and fully referenced example of Dalí’s response to chivalric narrative.
