Original Salvador Dali etching"Terpsichore" from Suite Les Muses (1971), hand-signed by Dali in pencil, hand-colored with watercolor and golden highlights.
Salvador Dalí created the suite of Les Muses while creating works for two of his patrons Giuseppe and Mara Albaretto. The artworks are inspired by Greek mythology.
Terpsichore is the Muse of dance and choral song in Greek mythology. She is one of the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is often depicted with a lyre or performing in a dance. Her name is derived from the Greek words "terpsis" (meaning "enjoyment") and "choros" (meaning "dance"), reflecting her role in inspiring the arts related to dance and song.
