In Barometer Woman, Dalí depicts a totemic female figure transformed into a surreal barometer. Rising like a mythical column, the woman’s form is both regal and vegetal, with hair morphing into tree-like branches reaching toward a radiant, melting sun. A distorted clock lies at her feet, evoking Dalí’s signature reflection on the instability of time. The delicate interplay of warm ochres, sun-faded yellows, and electric blue lines adds depth and energy to the otherwise serene setting. 
The work is catalogued in Albert Field’s official catalogue raisonné of Dalí’s graphic works (1996) as figure 76-1-C on page 178. 
Published by Levine & Levine in New York and printed at the Guillard-Gordon workshop.
Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was one of the most celebrated and influential artists of the 20th century. A master of surrealism, he developed a highly recognizable style combining classical precision with dreamlike, fantastical imagery. Throughout his career, Dalí explored themes such as decay, immortality, perception, and the subconscious mind. His legacy continues through major retrospectives and permanent museum collections worldwide.
