Who painted "Portrait of Gala with Two Lamb Chops Balanced on Her Shoulder"?
"Portrait of Gala with Two Lamb Chops Balanced on Her Shoulder" is very miniature portrait, its size is only 6.8 × 8.8 cm. But it represents a full and stylistically perfect picture and is very accurately verified compositionally. This small canvas is saturated with scrupulously drawn details, which, however, add up in a surrealistic fantasy.
The scene of the painting is an abandoned courtyard. Half-ruined walls, a collapsed well, ruins, debris. The entire left side of the picture is occupied by a female head, depicted in close-up. This is Gala, the wife of Salvador Dali. Her eyes are closed, a slight smile on her lips. On high cheekbones is a blush, lips are tinted. On the shoulder of Gala – a round tanned female shoulder – breaking the law of attraction, balancing two mutton ribs. Dali himself said that he painted in the picture two things that he loves: his wife and mutton chops on the ribs.
