Sculpture in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

A stylized sculpture of a seated figure stands in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. Crafted from light-colored, textured stone, the piece rests on a circular base set on dark gravel. Its blocky, geometric body has abstract, crossed arms, while the cylindrical head features simple cutout eyes, a nose, and a wide mouth, all topped by a conical hat. Strong light casts a distinct shadow across the dense background foliage.
