Watched by his wife Gala, Salvador Dalí works on an experiment in his studio at Portlligat in 1957. Wearing a soft, pointed hat, the artist rests his chin on his fist in contemplation. Gala stands behind him, holding up a large sheet and observing with intense concentration as he uses a swan feather and a sea urchin to mark a piece of blackened paper. The scene is dramatically illuminated by a single lamp, highlighting the objects of this artistic observation on the table.
