Landscape, glass reflection, and a person. The light on the back of the girl (Ana Maria, his sister), enhances one of Dali’s favorite employed elements. The landscape behind the window is the bay of Cadaqués, where Dalí used to stay in the summer. Garcia Lorca kept great memories about the view from that window at the awakens, he described his stay in Cadaqués, like wonderful, as a beautiful dream. Salvador and Ana Maria were very close each other, particularly after the death of their mother. Ana Maria was his only female model until Gala replaced her in 1929. After Ana Maria in a book described her brother in a way that he didn’t like, Dalí painted another version of this picture with the title “Young Virgin Buggered By Her Own Chastity” (1954).
