Watched by his wife Gala, Salvador Dalí works on his experiments with the sea urchin holding a swan feather 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.
Watched by his wife Gala, Salvador Dalí conducts experiments in his studio at Portlligat, Cadaqués, in 1957. Seated at a table scattered with sea urchin shells, the artist holds one specimen, preparing to mark blackened paper with a swan feather. Gala stands behind him, presenting a large artwork—possibly a photogram—that depicts a feather and a sea urchin. A striking lamp with a spiky, spherical shade that echoes the form of a sea urchin casts a dramatic light on the scene.
