"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," is pictured in the garden of the second house he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The large, dark, abstract work stands on a light-colored plinth set atop a rustic stone retaining wall. It consists of a central vertical post from which two long, curved arms extend upward, with a double-looped chain draped between their tips. A rugged, tree-covered hillside forms the background of the rural landscape.
