About this work

You see a tangle of thin black lines on white paper—horses and riders twisted into impossible shapes. Dalí drew this in 1936, the same year he met Freud. The scribbles feel like a dream half-remembered: legs stretch too long, heads tilt at odd angles. It’s not a finished work, just a quick study, but the messiness makes it feel alive. If you like this, look up cross-hatching next.
