"Un microbe vu a travers un temperament" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst's sculpture, "Un microbe vu a travers un temperament," stands in the garden of the home he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The weathered, dark metal piece features a central post from which two long, curved arms rise in a symmetrical U-shape, a metal chain draped between their tops. Mounted on a stone block, the sculpture rests on a low, rustic wall, set against a wild, sloping hillside with sparse vegetation under a diffused, light-gray sky.
