At his Portlligat home in 1957, Salvador Dalí demonstrates the origin of the "oursin" to his friend, the Canadian painter Philips. Wearing a distinctive soft hat and holding a magnifying glass, the artist uses a fine paintbrush to manipulate a mixture of milk and water on a table strewn with sea urchin shells. Philips leans in to observe the experiment with intense concentration, while a large, detailed drawing of their subject rests on a nearby easel.
