Study for 'Woman Undressing'

Salvador Dalí's Study for 'Woman Undressing' (1959) exemplifies the artist’s mastery within Surrealism, blending precise sketch and study techniques to explore subconscious imagery. Dalí, renowned for his eccentric style and meticulous craftsmanship, often incorporated elements of Expressionism, emphasizing emotional intensity and distortion.
