Salvador Dalí, his wife Gala and a Canadian painter friend Philipps watch fascinated as the "oursin" draws the paper, this time with a light dried up flower. At Dalí's house, Portlligat, Cadaqués 1975

At his home in Portlligat in 1975, Salvador Dalí, his wife Gala, and the Canadian painter Philipps are captivated by a creative experiment. In the dimly lit studio, strong directional light illuminates the cluttered work table where Dalí, wearing a dark cap, watches an "oursin" (sea urchin) draw on paper with a dried flower. Gala is seen in profile, with Philipps behind her as a dark silhouette. The high-contrast scene reveals spiky shells, tools, and artworks, including a drawing of a dodecahedron on the wall.
