About the Artwork: Nicolas Sokoloff, author of The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac, which Salvador Dali illustrated in 1967, describes people of the Libra sign as charming and full of emotion. Appreciation of love and art keep Libras busy, as well as equality among everyone and everything. A Libra is known as a stable person as they are always weighing pros and cons of a situation before acting upon it. (from: Sokoloff, Nicolas. The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac. Paris: Trois Anges, 1969. Print.)
