he portraits of this couple, Dalí and his beloved wife Gala, are formed by the contours of the frames. The composition of this work - the position of the heads - is borrowed from a famous painting by the French painter Jean François Millet, ‘The Angelus', showing a farmer and his wife saying evening prayers in their field. Dalí and Gala have assumed the same postures.
