Person at the Window – Salvador Dalí
Person at the Window is a painting by Salvador Dalí from 1925: a young woman stands with her back to us at an open window, looking at the sea of the bay of Cadaqués. We paint our hand-painted study of Person at the Window to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 50 cm to 150 × 200 cm or in a custom size. Before Person at the Window is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Person at the Window show?
In Person at the Window a girl in a light dress, with brown hair, leans on the windowsill and looks through the open window at the calm blue sea and the shore across the bay; blue curtains hang at the sides, and one window casement opens outwards. The model was Dalí’s sister Ana María, and the scene is in the family house in Cadaqués; Person at the Window comes from before Surrealism and is one of his calm, bright paintings.
How is our hand-painted study of Person at the Window made?
Our painters paint the study of Person at the Window by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Person at the Window has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Person at the Window is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
