Which painting is also referred to as "Melting Clocks", "The Soft Watches" or "The Melting Watches"?

The Persistence of Memory is a 1931 painting by artist Salvador Dalí, and one of his most recognizable works. First shown at the Julien Levy Gallery in 1932, since 1934 the painting has been in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, which received it from an anonymous donor.

It is widely recognized and frequently referenced in popular culture, and sometimes referred to by more descriptive (though incorrect) titles, such as "Melting Clocks", "The Soft Watches" or "The Melting Watches".

Jarrah Iluka, sounds like you’re selling a Model T, you can have any color as long as it’s black. With apologies, your idea is dated and pedestrian

would it be possible to show a picture of the correct answer when appropriate, such as art. Often I am making an intellectual guess and it would be helpful to SEE. Yes I know I can Google.....ija
