Watched by his wife Gala, Salvador Dalí works on an experiment in his studio at Portlligat, Spain, in 1957. Under a strong, dramatic light, the artist—wearing a patterned shirt and a soft, pointed cap—holds a swan feather to a sea urchin, marking a sheet of blackened paper. On the table is a collection of objects, including other urchins and a dandelion seed head. Gala stands in the shadows to his left, holding a large white enamel basin.
