I’m always interested to know the scaled of these 19th C works, because some can be quite enormous. Turns out this is a small oil on canvas, on exhibit at the Santa Barbara Art museum, which lists the size as: 14 1/8 x 20 1/4 in. (35.9 x 51.4 cm).
Me too. I went to a Dali exhibition that did a really good job of drawing together most of his significant works, many of which I knew from books etc ... and I was blown away at how I could not predict which were physically big and which were physically small or even tiny pieces, so good was his technique.
Nice quiz idea: Guessing the scale of artworks.
