La Fontaine's Fables are a collection of moral stories written by the French poet Jean de La Fontaine in the 17th century. He used anthropomorphized animals to convey life and ethics lessons through short, allegorical stories, with a witty style and poetic language that made them classics of literature.

"Le Singe et le Léopard (Le Bestiaire de La Fontaine)" by Salvador Dalí is a lithograph notable for its detailed technique and its ability to realistically depict figures. Dalí reinterprets La Fontaine's fables with his surrealist style, creating images of animals in a dream world. The lithographic technique allows for high-quality reproduction and rich detail.

The work is referenced in the Albert Field catalog pages 92-93. Nr. 75-1 (H) .
