Watched by his wife Gala, 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 the dramatic light of his studio in Portlligat, Spain, Salvador Dalí conducts an experiment as his wife, Gala, watches intently in 1957. Wearing a soft cap and glasses, the artist rests his chin on his fist in deep concentration. Gala stands behind a table laden with sea urchin shells and a sheet of blackened paper. With a swan feather, Dalí carefully moves a sea urchin back and forth, marking the paper's dark surface.
