Max Ernst working on the painting "Schwalbennest". Seillans 1966.

In his Seillans studio in 1966, Max Ernst leans over a large wooden table, intently working on his painting "Schwalbennest." Dressed in a textured knit sweater, the artist shows deep concentration as he presses down with both hands on the abstract piece. The artwork is a dense network of tangled, light-colored lines against a textured, dark background. In the background, other canvases lean against the walls of the functional workspace.
