The artwork titled “Young Virgin Autosodomized by Her Own Chastity” is an oil painting by the renowned Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, created in 1954. Measuring at 40.5 x 30.5 cm, this symbolic painting manifests the artist’s intricate style and thought-provoking thematic approach. It resides within a private collection and is a prime example of the Surrealist movement to which Dalí contributed significantly.
The artwork features a female figure bent over in what appears to be a room with a large window, through which a vivid, cloud-filled sky and calm sea can be seen. She is rendered with exaggerated and rounded forms that are characteristic of Dalí’s interpretations of the human figure. Notably, the title suggests a deeper symbolic meaning relating to suppression and internal conflict.toBeContinued
