The painting is owned by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, in Rotterdam[1] The trauma and the view of war had often served as inspiration for Dalí's work.

The painting depicts a withered, disembodied head hovering against a barren desert landscape.

The face is withered like that of a corpse and wears an expression of fear and misery.

In their mouths and eyes, there are more identical faces in a process implied to be infinite.

In the lower right corner is a handprint that Dalí insisted was left by his own hand.
