Which 1929 Salvador Dalí painting is titled The Great Masturbator?

Salvador Dalí’s 1929 painting is titled The Great Masturbator.

The work features a distorted, pale head-like form surrounded by symbolic images, including insects, a grasshopper and a woman near the central figure. Dalí drew on recurring themes of desire, fear and bodily transformation, presenting them through a densely layered dream image rather than a realistic scene.

The painting was made soon after Dalí became closely involved with the Paris Surrealists and met Gala, who became his lifelong partner and frequent subject. The title is deliberately provocative, but the image is not a straightforward self-portrait or literal illustration. The Great Masturbator is held by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.
