This classic surrealist work features a classical reclining nude female figure seen from behind, resting her upper torso on a smooth block structure. Her gaze is directed away from the viewer toward a barren, vast desert expanse painted in deep golden-yellow ochre hues.
To the right, a fragmented architectural archway or column looms over the figure. Elements of the column feature geometric designs, keyholes, and a hanging droplet from an unseen string. On the lower left, a large, polished blue sphere rests nearby on the flat ground. In the midground, a small dark rock formation contrasts against the flat horizon line, while a flock of birds flies through a green-to-blue gradient sky beneath a lone, dense white cloud. The overall style utilizes sharp shadows, dreamlike scaling, and classical draftsmanship typical of Dalí's early mastery of surrealism
