Robert and Nicolas Descharnes have confirmed the authenticity of the work.
Lots 229 & 230 are studies for the gilden-iron covers of the illsutrated books Poèmes secrets by Guillaume Apollinaire and Les Amours de Cassandre by Pierre Ronsard, both illustrated by Dalí in 1967 and published by Pierre Argillet.
When Argillet met Dalí in 1959, he asked him to execute a unique copper-cover for his first illustrated book, Les Rois Mages. From then onwards, Argillet and Dalí became close friends, sharing their philosophical and artistic passions. Their fructuous collaboration lasted for 25 years, during which Dalí realised more than 150 subjects for Argillet amongst which La Mythologie, Les Hippies, La Tauromachie, La Vénus aux Fourrures, Faust and the books by Ronsard and Apollinaire. The final edition of Les Chants de Maldoror, which Dalí had begun with Skira in 1934, was completed by the artist and Argillet. Skira summed up Dalí and Argillet's exclusive relationship, as he claimed to the latter, 'Moi, Dalí je le tutoie mais vous, vous l'engueulez, et c'est quand même nettement plus important'.
