Today's find, Salvador Dali ?

[Joecoins]

Bought this Dali today at the local SallyAnne (salvation Army thriftstore). Cost a bit for this 24.99$.
Looked unique when I saw it hanging on the wall. Took it down to look at, then I see the name on the back...figured it was worth the gamble.
Seems well framed and has some age.
Also some damage that must have happened before being framed...
Anyone seen this one before?
Do I open it and look for signature or leave it alone? Anyone got tips for authenticating it. Not many places locally for me to go.

Turns out it's buy one get one free on art. So I quickly grabbed the next best priced peice I found, well framed, and probably worth atleast 10$ in trade at a local antique store. Haven't done any research on the second peice yet , also some kind of print. If anyone happens to know it off hand.
Thanks

Nice to have things to hang on the wall, but I don’t think you have anything of tremendous value here. You won’t find a match to Dali’s signature with the writing on the back… and it’s more of a hand-written attribution than a signature. With no indication of it being from a limited edition run, it’s just a print but it looks like it might be on canvas (although damaged), so perhaps a print simulated as an oil painting.

The other work is from an original painting by the English artist Arthur Elsley (1860–1952) titled “The Procession”. Lots of these exist as oleographs on canvas to simulate oil paintings (and the Dali work may be of a similar nature). The Elsley oleographs typically have an asking price around £70 or so on this side of the pond.

Thanks red coat.
Actualy I was hoping for another signature maybe on the reverse of the work directly. Or under the padding in the framing.

Both I do not think are oleographs. They don't seem to be simulating oil paint.
They both seem like lithographs of a sort.
The Dali has more of a green?grey fade and a real black color. Realy looks like a true litho. And the framing seems to show evidence of age. I understand that Dali flooded the market with these lithographs sometimes his artist proof numbers in as large amounts as his numbered editions.
I see the same selling for 2000$+ , so I think it's worth figuring out .
Not something to leave behind at the store.

I should have cleaned the glass!
There is streak marks on the glass from the last cleaning, that makes it look like brush strokes...

Watching some YouTube videos now and look what I found.
Here's a photo of Dali with a copy in the size of mine.

It's not impossible that it is the very same.

I think this is atleast evidence that there are similar originals or artist proofs.
No reason why mine can't be of the same stock. The size and layout spacing of margins on top and bottom match.
The fact that mine has been so well framed even though with damage is what really made me think. It may actually be something.

Good luck. Hope it turns out to be a great purchase for you.

Red coat, you are a treasure in yourself. Your knowledge and insight is amazing. You make this site fun. I'm learning more every day! Thank you.

interesting find.

It looks like a damaged lithograph to me. Whether it’s an original, IDK.
Best of luck with it. Hopefully it has a decent value.
