Salvador Dalí poses at his studio with his ink drawing of a madonna and her child and the painting "Cosmic Madonna", finished in 1958. At Salvador Dalí's house, Portlligat, Cadaqués, 1957.

In his Portlligat studio in 1957, Salvador Dalí, with his distinctive upturned mustache, looks towards the viewer. Dressed in a textured suit jacket with paintbrushes in his breast pocket, he holds a palette and gestures towards a large easel. It displays the preliminary drawing for his painting "Cosmic Madonna," which he would finish the following year. Affixed to the bottom of the large canvas is a smaller, dense ink drawing of a madonna and child.
