The painting by Salvador Dali is quite famous and was painted in 1931. This image has significantly utilized the monocular cues of aerial perception. It has also incorporated relative brightness, relative size, and interposition. The objects that are closer are fine while the one that is further away is murky. On the other, the effects of texture gradient are demonstrated by the fact that the ground becomes finer as we move away. Relative size has been applied since the mountain at the backside appears to be smaller compared to clocks and the table. The interposition makes it possible for the view to see than the tree is on closer proximity than the mountain.

This image utilized a style called “fadeaway girl” of the Gestalt principle called closure. The image is perceived as incomplete, and it will end up filling up the missing parts. The lamps that are present in the painting are symmetrical and vertically aligned. However, the presence of a woman in the middle changes the overall perception of the image.

The lambs are of the same size, and they seem as a reflection of one another. The arm in the Gertrude Ederle, America’s Girls, is seen stretching her arm touching the lamb. The shoulders are covered by a black dress, and it is “perceived” or assumed to be attached to the other body. Based on the actual painting the most dominant aspects are the closure and symmetry.
