"Le rire des poètes, No 16". Photo taken in the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst’s artwork, “Le rire des poètes, No 16,” photographed in 1975 at the home he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans. The framed piece is structured as a four-panel grid, each containing a stylized illustration of a woman's torso in lingerie. A large, target-like circle is superimposed over the center, intersected by a vertical phallic form and a horizontal snake-like object. The graphic composition, seen here against a tiled floor, is completed by a decorative foliate border along its top edge.
