Dated circa 1965. In very good condition.
Dali has sign the sketch on the lower left corner.
In the lower right-hand corner Dali also adds a more stylistic form of his signature which includes the name of his wife Gala. Dali began signing his artworks using his wife's name in the 1930s, as a tribute to the creative inspiration she gave him.
On the reverse of the frame, on the original backing paper, Dali has provided his own handwritten authentication. He writes:
"C'est vraiment de Dali ("It is Truly Dali") and dates it "1965".
The imagery of both angels and horses can be found in many of Dali's artworks.
