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.

"La Cerf Malade (Le Bestiaire de La Fontaine)" by Salvador Dalí is a lithograph that reflects Dalí's detailed and realistic technique. In this work, Dalí reinterprets a fable by La Fontaine, representing the sick deer. The lithographic technique allows you to capture the texture and details of the animal in a surreal and dreamlike style.

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

Original lithograph signed and hand-numbered by Salvador Dalí.
