Carving

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Carving" by Dalí features a wavy, organic-shaped object with a translucent purple color. The object has a thick base that tapers upward, with several protrusions of varying heights. The surface of the sculpture has a smooth, shiny finish and appears to have a carved texture, with several circular indentations along the base. A small, illegible signature is visible on the front of the sculpture. The background is a plain white surface with a subtle shadow cast by the sculpture.
