What is the title of Salvador Dalí’s 1931 painting with soft, melting watches?

Salvador Dalí’s 1931 painting with soft, melting watches is The Persistence of Memory.

The small oil painting is one of Dalí’s best-known works and is held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Its landscape includes several limp watches draped over a branch, a ledge, and a biomorphic form. The hard-edged landscape contrasts with the distorted objects, creating the dreamlike effect associated with Surrealism.

The painting is often described as showing “melting clocks,” although the objects are watches. Dalí later produced a larger variation, The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory, between 1952 and 1954; that separate work is a common source of confusion. The original 1931 painting is much smaller than many reproductions suggest, measuring about 24 by 33 centimetres.
