Exceptional pencil drawing, portrait of a horse's head, executed on Air France writing paper, by/attributed to Salvador Dali (1904-1989). Signed. Undated but probably circa 1970's. [The front cover of the tablet which originally contained this drawing and which is being offered as a separate lot, is inscribed "Pour Amelia Hommage de Dali".] 11 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches. Very good overall condition. Unframed.

Provenance: Presumably given to Amelia White (Sydney, Australia) directly by the artist, who she met while traveling one summer as a young girl. Amelia apparently had a special interest in horses. The present sketch, one of thirteen, was part of a tablet of sketches which was sold privately to a book dealer and subsequently acquired by the consignor's family, circa 1985 or earlier.

Lot Note: This sketch was originally offered as part of a tablet of sketches in our April 2014 auction. It was sold to an international buyer in Spain, who was unable to complete the purchase transaction. At the consignor's request we have disassembled the tablet of sketches and are offering them for sale individually.
