Salvador Dalí poses in his Portlligat studio, 1957, surrounded by objects from his study of the "oursin" (sea urchin). With his signature upturned mustache and a cap-like object on his head, he holds a swan's feather—part of an effort to have a sea urchin create a painting. Behind him, two display boards show detailed illustrations of sea urchin fossils, adding to the characteristic clutter of the artist's workspace in Cadaqués.
