Salvador Dalí works on his experiments with the sea urchin holding a swan feather or a dry flower 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 works on an experiment with intense concentration. Wearing a pointed cap, glasses, and a small ornament clipped to his mustache, he leans over a work surface splattered with drops of material. With focused care, he holds a sea urchin while using a swan feather or a dry flower to mark a sheet of blackened paper. Dramatic lighting highlights his face and hands, drawing attention to the intricate process as the background remains in deep shadow.
