Dalí's printed masterpiece, for which he had all of Goya's etchings with aquatint from the circa 1799 seminal Los Caprichos series (see lots 154-159) reproduced as heliogravures, subsequently reworking each of the heliogravure plates with Surrealist drypoint additions which were subsequently embellished with stencil coloring.
