Leonora Carrington. Les Distractions de Dagobert, 1945. This article is a good artistic assessment of a work which is almost always discussed in terms of gross financial worth first: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/leonora-carrington-les-distractions-de-dagobert-2718627 I will only add is that they elide the period of her nervous breakdown and abandonment by Ernst with a few glib words, when the reality was horrific sexual violence. She undertook an amazing rebirth which informs her later feminist activism in Mexico. #Painting
