"Oedipus I" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst's sculpture "Oedipus I," a stylized figure with a bird-like head, sits on a rough wall in the garden of his and Dorothea Tanning's second home in Seillans, 1975. Behind the artwork, a tall, slender cypress tree rises against a sunlit, hilly landscape. The shallow depth of field keeps the sculpture in sharp focus, while the background elements, including another distant pole topped with a T-shaped figure, remain softly defined.
