Salvador Dalí with his sea urchins. A swan's feather he puts in the sea urchin's mouth is allowed to slightly touch a sheet of blackened paper. The movements then made are traced on the paper. At Salvador Dalí's house, Portlligat, Cadaqués 1957.
At his home in Portlligat, Cadaqués, in 1957, Salvador Dalí leans intently over a table, his expression one of deep concentration. Wearing a soft, tall hat and a shirt with a distinctive flame-like pattern, he engages in a unique artistic process. A swan’s feather, placed in the mouth of a sea urchin, is allowed to lightly touch a sheet of blackened paper, tracing the creature’s subtle movements. The scene is dramatically lit, highlighting his face, his hand, and the curious objects of his focus.
