At the top of the face/jewel is an angel. The other facets of the main figure's face include two classical portraits in profile, one of which has a green gem as an eye. Alchemically, the egg represents rebirth and the creation of the Philosopher's Stone.
The egg is both an alchemical and dalinian symbol and was certain to appear in some detail of Alchimie des Philosophes. In terms of Dalí's symbolism, the egg represents rebirth and resurrection, which is similar to the alchemical meaning as well. In the center of the face/path is a cracking egg. The center facet features another androgynous head, whose face is replaced by a swirling pathway on which travelers (alchemical pilgrims) stand facing a sphinx.

You are considered to have shuffled each affected library (even if, as a shortcut, each player physically shuffles their own library). Instead of a face, the figure has a pear-cut jewel with different forms in each facet. If you gain control of another players Elixir of Immortality and activate it, the Elixir of Immortality will be shuffled into its owners library and the cards in your graveyard will be shuffled into your library. The figure is angrogynous, wearing unisex clothing and lacking any identifiable features which adds to the anonymity of the print. The composition of Immortality is one of the most static in Alchimie des Philosophes. Dalí presents the figure as a conventional chest-length portrait. According to alchemical legend, once the successful alchemist is tranformed by the Elixir/Stone, the unconscious aspect of his psyche will be illuminated by consciousness. This portrait-like image can be interpreted as the representation of a successful alchemist, one who has attained immortality. The Elixir can transmute all metals into gold, cure all disease, resurrect the dead, and guarantee immortality. Immortality does not mimic a particular alchemical symbol, but instead represents the effects of the Elixir of Life, or the Philosopher's Stone-the goal of alchemy.
