By swapping the positions of the nose and ear on this plaster cast of a classical bust of the goddess Venus, Dalí has made the impossible possible and has created a highly personal surrealist work. This is a reconstruction of the original sculpture from 1964 made by the museum with the artist's permission in 1970, the year of the major Dalí exhibition at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
