Sculpture in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

A stylized, modernist sculpture of a face in the garden of the Seillans home shared by Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in 1975. The dark, weathered metal plaque features two protruding orbs for eyes and a long, triangular nose. Perched on its top edge, a smaller, abstract bird-like figure casts a distinct shadow onto the face below. The piece is mounted on a solid base and rests on a rough-hewn stone wall, with the sparse garden foliage visible in the out-of-focus background.
