Salvador Dalí works on his experiments with the sea urchin (oursin) holding a swanfeather 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 Portlligat studio in 1957, Salvador Dalí conducts an experiment, using a sea urchin and a swan feather to mark blackened paper. He is seen from behind, hunched over his desk in a cluttered, dramatically lit room dominated by a life-sized nude statue. The figure wears a wire-frame mask and a dark cape over its shoulder. Among the many objects in the background, a framed portrait of Adolf Hitler rests on a small table.
