This is a surrealist oil painting depicting a dream-like scene. On the right, a nude woman, identified as Gala Dalí, reclines asleep against crumbling rock formations that appear to be floating or emerging from a light blue background. Her arms are raised above her head, and her expression is serene. To the left of the woman, a dynamic sequence of events unfolds. A large, open pomegranate is seen at the bottom. From inside this pomegranate, a red-orange fish with fins emerges, its mouth open. Bursting forth from the fish's mouth is a ferocious, roaring tiger with striped yellow and black fur and extended claws. Immediately above this tiger, another identical tiger is depicted mid-air, also roaring and with claws extended, as if having just sprung from the first. A rifle with a bayonet attached floats horizontally just above the second tiger. In the upper left portion of the painting, a bizarre elephant with extremely long, thin, spindly legs and a saddle-like structure on its back is suspended in the sky. A small, round moon or celestial body is visible behind it. Another small, whole pomegranate floats near the sleeping woman's head, with a bee flying towards it, hinting at the painting's known title. The background is a vast, serene light blue sky, meeting a flat, light-colored horizon. Visible text on the crumbling rock formation near the woman's head reads "GALA DALÍ CARACOLES". The overall mood is fantastical and intensely dream-like, combining elements of beauty, menace, and the subconscious.
