The print, signed and dated by the artist ‘Portrait of my father / 1924’, depicts the notary Salvador Dalí i Cusí, the artist’s father. A figure of great importance in Dalí’s life, his father unconditionally supported him both during his artistic training in Figueres and during his student years at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid between 1922 and 1926. That period was marked by his stay at the Residencia de Estudiantes (student residence), conceived as a supplementary educational facility for the sons and daughters of well-to-do families with liberal and progressive views, where Dalí forged crucial friendships with Federico García Lorca, Luis Buñuel, Pepín Bello, and Rafael Barradas, among others.
