Dear Angela,
Thank you for your reply. This is a color woodcut depicting a scene from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. The exact verse is Divine Comedie, Le Purgatoire, Canto 19, The Source. This print was made after a draft by the famous artist Salvador Dali and is signed in the plate. This woodcut is referenced in both the Albert Field guide (pages 189 - 202) and in Michler/Lopsinger (pages 102 - 114).
An estimation would be between 50 to 100 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
