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.

In his studio at Portlligat in 1957, Salvador Dalí conducts experiments as his wife, Gala, looks on. Wearing a soft hat and a dangling earring, the artist rests his chin on his hand in deep concentration. Using a sea urchin holding a swan feather, he moves the tool back and forth, marking a sheet of blackened paper with glistening droplets. The table is an illuminated assortment of creative tools: more sea urchins, feathers, and glasses of liquid.
