He also makes everything detailed down to the very last ant on the bronze watch. On the white figure Dali uses different lengths and widths to create individuality in each lash. The lines on the mountains are noticeable, and give them a rough realistic approach. Most of the painting contains lines that are relatively thin and similar in width, with the exception of the mountains, and the eyelashes of the white figure. The lines that Dali uses in the painting vary on the shape which he is working with. The Persistence of Memory uses the basic elements of art including a plethora of lines, values, shapes, form, colors, and texture (Glatstein). The rest of the scenery around the white figure is dark and barren. The white figure has no limbs or other human-like characteristics. Its nose is flared and has another small brown object coming out of the right nostril. It has a what looks to be a trade mark Salvador Dali moustache and lips where eyebrows would be on a human face. The white figure is human-like, with over emphasized large eyelashes. On it lies a white figure on its right side with another silver-colored melting clock on its back.

The ground in The Persistence of Memory is a dark brown that almost turns black in certain areas. Unlike the other clocks, this is shut, and the only one that is not warped or melted of the four.

The exterior of the pocket watch is covered with a swarm of black ants. The other pocket watch is bronze and shut. The fly is also casting a very small shadow, which is shaped more like a human. The hands of the gold watch are stopped at five of seven and there is a fly on the face near the 1 o’clock mark. One of them is gold and melted, hanging half way off the light brown cube. On this object there are two more pocket watches residing. The brown object takes over the bottom left corner of the painting, and even goes off the canvas. The tree is located on top of a light brown square object that looks desk-like. Only one hand of the watch is shown, pointing at the 6. The single branch holds a silver pocket watch which appears to be melting on the end of the branch showing the numbers three through nine. A lifeless tree with a hollow top, is in front of it, missing all of its leaves and branches but one. Placed in front of this platform, there is another single pebble. On the left close to the water, Dali places a reflective, blue, elevated, rectangular platform with dark brown trimming around the edges. In front of the mountains there is lone pebble. The body of water traces the skyline until it interacts with neighboring mountains to the right. Under the skyline sits a body of water, or what looks to be a large lake or a reflecting pool. The Persistence of Memory contains a light blue horizon, which slowly fades downward from blue to yellow across the top quarter of the painting. It has been displayed in galleries worldwide and is a symbol of Dali’s work. This oil painting measures 9 1/2 x 13 inches, or 24.1 x 33 cm and is on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA).
