WOMAN OF TIME

A radiant woman carries a soft watch over her arm, the iconic Dalinian symbol
of time, and holds in her hands a rose stem, symbol of beauty and harmony.
The elegance and graceful form of the woman’s unusual dress recalls the
Liberty Style popular in the early twentieth century. Dalí’s Woman of Time
sculpture is a homage to feminine grace and beauty, whilst the soft watch alludes to
the women’s awareness that beauty fades with time. Dalí combined the symbolism of
female allure and the concept of time in many of his sculptural works, he reveres
refinement, elegance, and charm, all of these are depicted here in this exquisite
rendering of the feminine figure.
