Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach is an oil painting by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, from 1938.

[1] This work belongs to a group of paintings by Dalí that instantiate an optical illusion called the double, multiple, or ambiguous image.

[2][3][4][5][6][7] The painting is dominated by a depiction of a stemmed silver fruit bowl containing pears.

A similar face reappears other paintings by Dalí, including The Endless Enigma.

Another face appears further back, just to the right of the elbow of the nude male figure.
