Specialist note

Nicolas and Olivier Descharnes have confirmed the authenticity of this work.

Dalí met the ballerina Jane Mason when she was performing in Europe with New York City Ballet. He drew the present work on the frontispiece of A.R. Morse's 1957 publication, Dalí: A Study of His Life and Work, dedicating it "pour Gines Mason" before gifting the work to her.
