A vertical photograph captures Salvador Dalí's oil painting "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Waking Up" (1944), displayed within the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The artwork, framed in an ornate dark and gold Baroque-style frame, depicts a surreal dreamscape. The painting features a nude, reclining female figure, identified as Gala Dalí, suspended above a tranquil blue sea on a light gray, block-like form. In the lower left, a red pomegranate and a small bee are visible. From a large red pomegranate in the mid-ground, a fish with an open mouth emerges, from which a snarling, yellow-striped tiger with bared teeth leaps forward. Immediately behind it, a second, equally ferocious tiger also emerges, holding a bayonet pointed towards the sleeping figure. In the upper right background, a tall, slender-legged elephant with a structure on its back walks across the horizon. The sky is a clear light blue. The painting is mounted on a plain, light off-white wall. To its right, a rectangular white information plaque identifies the artwork as "Salvador Dalí," lists its Spanish and English titles, "Sueño causado por el vuelo de una abeja alrededor de una granada un segundo antes del despertar / Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Waking Up," the year "1944," and "Óleo sobre tabla" (Oil on wood panel), alongside a QR code.
