"Aquis Submersus - (Drowned In The Waters)" is one of the earliest works of the German dadaist and surrealist Max Ernst, showing surrealistical accents. The painting depicts a swimming pool surrounded by buildings. One surreal aspect of the work is its rejection of stringent logic. The buildings leave shadows against the sky like a wall. Hanging in the sky is a clock that reflects on the water as a moon. In the pool, the picture shows a possibly female or childish body in an upside-down position with only the waist and legs above the water level. The person appears to be diving or is drowning.
