Salvador Dalí works on his experiments with the sea urchin holding a swan feather and moving backwards and forewards thus marking the blackened paper. These experiments he is carrying out at his studio in his Spanish home at Portlligat, Cadaqués, on the Costa Brava 1957.
In his dimly lit studio in Portlligat, Spain, in 1957, Salvador Dalí, wearing a pointed cap and glasses, is intensely focused on an experiment. Illuminated by a strong, directional light that casts deep shadows, he holds a sea urchin fitted with a swan feather, moving it to mark a sheet of blackened paper. On the table before him are glasses of liquid, thin tools, and an assortment of other natural objects, including another sea urchin and a large, fluffy seed head.
