Couple with Their Heads Full of Clouds

Couple with Their Heads Full of Clouds (French: Couple aux Têtes Pleines de Nuages) is a 1936 diptych painting by Salvador Dalí. The oil on plywood work represent tables in a desert landscape and are cut out like the silhouettes of the characters in Jean-François Millet's painting The Angelus (L'Angélus). The works are both double portraits of Salvador and Gala Dali.
