The terraced garden of the second house of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, photographed in 1975. The two-story stone residence is set against a rolling hill, its patio featuring a bright blue swimming pool. The grounds, where the couple had lived since 1971, serve as a gallery for a collection of modern, abstract sculptures. A large, dark figurative work stands on a pedestal by the pool, while several smaller pieces are positioned along the stone retaining wall.
