In The Anthropomorphic Cabinet (1936), Dali transformed the cabinet into a female figure, or, as he put it, an "anthropomorphic cabinet." The female figure here is more lifelike, and unlike the Venus statue, she is depicted reclining. Her head leans forward over the partially open drawers, and her hair falls forward so as entirely to obscure the face.In 1936, likely with the technical assistance of Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali modified a plaster cast of the Venus de Milo, one of the most famous of ancient sculptures in the Louvre, by introducing a series of drawers with the knobs covered in ermine fur in his sculpture Venus de Milo with Drawers.
